The community provides 24-hour licensed nursing staff on-site, with physician, pharmacy, psychological, podiatry, and physical and occupational therapy services available. The facility is thoughtfully designed for individuals with memory loss, featuring a secured residence with interior courtyards and outdoor garden pathways. Staff receive ongoing specialized dementia education and communication coaching.

Life enrichment programs are extensive, with full-time activities staff providing scheduled activities and outings.

A resource center offers educational programs, on-site support groups, and family forums, along with professional conferences and workshops.

Respite care may be available for families who need short-term relief from full-time caregiving responsibilities. The community is part of the St. Peter's Health Partners Network continuum of care throughout the Capital Region.
