Thanks to the dedication and vision of the staff here, residents, families and caregivers are part of a vibrant, caring community. Loneliness and boredom are banished with the help of two cats, two dogs, several finches, various fish, visiting children and a philosophy of care that supports creativity, empowerment and compassion. Daily activities and interactions focus on quality of life, rather than chores and routines. Says one family member: "The team focuses on making sure the residents are happy and it shows evety day in everything they do."
