Mealtimes emphasize comfort, routine, and connection around the table.

The community designs monthly activity calendars to engage residents mentally, emotionally, socially, and physically through daily activities, movement, music, games, and social connection guided by caregivers. A Family of Care was founded by Kathleen and Mark, who were inspired by their experience caring for Kathleen's mother, Eileen, whose health and social engagement improved significantly, and by Brian's experience with compassionate hospice care for his own mother.
