The four story, 103,400 square foot facility is located on Gordons Crossing Road. The community includes studio apartments, 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and 2-bedroom companion suites and family suites. Each of the floors of the building has been designed to address the continuum of care required by the community, with the ground floor accommodating Common Areas, a Great Room, a Living Room with a bar area, the Main Dining Room, a Snack Area, the Kitchen, the Nurses Suite, Personal Care amenities, an Exercise room, as well as support functions, storage and general offices.
The first floor includes the Main Lobby with a Reception Desk, a Library, a Bistro, a Conference Room, a Servery, a fully glazed Glass Conservatory and an outdoor patio. Resident living accommodations complete the balance of the first floor, as well as the remaining upper floors. In total the community includes 97 dwelling units consisting of 120 beds. The community provides quality living arrangements and accommodations for Independent Living, Assisted Living and Post-Acute Care and Rehabilitation, as well as Nursing and Memory Care.
