Since then, we have grown from a 20-bed facility in a renovated mansion, to a multi-building campus which offers comprehensive care to more than 270 residents. With beautiful landscaped grounds, well-maintained and updated facilities, and caring, highly-trained staff, we continue to set the standard for affordable retirement communities in the area.
