Below are just a few of the services our patients/residents enjoy.

Aviary and Aquarium

Residents, family members, and friends enjoy relaxing near the tranquil, underwater scenes provided by the plant and fish life in our aquarium. Those who wish for a reprieve from anxiety and stress as well as those who are seeking social interaction often relax in our family room while viewing parrot fish and other aquatic creatures. Those who are more fond of feathered friends will find our professionally maintained aviary featuring zebra and society finch, diamond doves, shaft tails, blue cap waxbills, and male song canaries entertaining and peaceful.


Salon Services

Many of our patients/residents look forward to their weekly visits from volunteer hairstylists and other beauty professionals from the community who offer complimentary styling, permanents, and haircuts. These services are available in each patient/resident's room, or patients/residents are free to visit our in-house salon, a special area equipped with a chair and dryer reminiscent of the neighborhood beauty parlor. As part of their full-service treatment, patients/residents are also invited to enjoy a weekly session in our whirlpool bath.

" We offer so many opportunities for people to deal with the end of life in the best way possible. One resident called her family in, and they all climbed in bed with her, held her and sang to her. They wanted to be close with her at the end. Here families became accepting and the acceptance has a calming effect on everyone, including the resident."

Carole Tibbetts, RN, Team Manager

Social Activities

All of our patients/residents are given a calendar of special events, and, along with their families and other visitors, are encouraged to attend. In addition to weekly activities, we seek every opportunity to add enjoyment through special programming.

Chapel

Our chapel, or meditation room, is available to patients/residents and their families at any time of private prayer, and small group vigils.

Courtesy Cart

Patients/Residents also receive regular visits from our afternoon courtesy cart. We offer a variety of complimentary books, movies, snacks, drinks and other amenities from which patients/residents may choose.
