Phil & Kim realize that making the decision to relocate to an assisted living center can be a difficult one. Some view it as giving up independence; others struggle with admitting that they just might need a little help with daily living. Actually, everyone needs a little help now and then, and the staff make it their life's work to provide service and support when it is requested or required.

Our professional staff, with many years of service to older adults, offers compassion and understanding to families and prospective residents in making the adjustment to life at our home. Underlying our respect for others is the realization that "nice matters!"

People who should consider living with us in assisted living are:

Individuals who appreciate their independence but want the security of having someone close by.
Individuals who tend to overlook eating meals or taking medications properly.
Individuals who enjoy interacting with others to offset loneliness or fear of being alone.
Couples who are caring for each other and would appreciate the help of other caregivers.
Individuals who have failing health but do not require the services or expense of a nursing home.
Individuals who appreciate a sense of community.

Admissions, the provision of services, and referrals of clients shall be made without regard to race, color, religious creed, disability, ancestry, national origin, age, sex or Limited English Proficiency (LEP). Similarly, personnel policies, procedures and practices will be designed to prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, religious creed, ancestry, national origin, age or sex. Reasonable accommodation(s) shall be made to meet the physical or mental limitations of qualified applicants for employment or employees.
