The community maintains a particular focus on memory support services.

The community is guided by faith and compassion, with a chaplain on staff who provides comfort, prayer, and spiritual connection. Ecumenical services are held each Sunday morning at 10 a.m., and residents have access to spiritual support for their families and staff as well.
