We encourage new residents to bring things from home that will add a personal touch to their private bathroom and bedroom. Bring in pictures for the walls; family photo albums; a favorite quilt or bed spread or other items or special mementos. One might also want to bring a television, clock or radio. Bedroom furniture is provided, but you may wish to use some of your own.
Laundry is done in house, unless family would prefer to take things home to launder. It is wise to mark all items of clothing prior to admission, as this ensures the safe return of all items from laundry.
Residents may retain their personal doctor or if necessary, our house doctor will be appointed.
Please remember that all residents’ medications are closely monitored, so new residents and families are asked not to bring any medications from home.
