Hair/Skin/Nail Care
There’s few things like a spa day to make a person feel special and cared for. While our staff are not able to provide hair cuts or nail trims, they can bring you to your hair or nail appointment, and help with the daily care and maintenance to keep you feeling beautiful!
Assistance with Getting Dressed
Decreased mobility associated with aging can make small tasks like putting on support stockings or buttoning a shirt difficult. Our staff are here to help with picking out appropriate clothing for the weather, getting dressed, and even light housekeeping duties like keeping up with the laundry.
