Climate Control
We have created a senior living community where you’ll enjoy a pleasant temperature in our buildings throughout the year, regardless of the weather forecast.
Comfort means different things to different people, which is why our private apartments have individual climate control options. It allows you to set a temperature at a level that’s right for you, and adjust it whenever you need to increase your comfort level, giving you the same freedom over your living arrangements that you’d get in private housing.
Ample Built-In Storage
Having an orderly and clutter-free apartment can make it feel more spacious and relaxing. However, we don’t need you to say goodbye to treasured belongings before you move in, because we’ve built apartments with ample storage that suits your every need.
Storage is fully integrated in each apartment, reducing the need for extra bulky furniture, and is designed to maximize your space. The serene and organized layout will make you feel at ease and reduce your cleaning and tidying chores.
Self-Contained Apartments With Kitchenettes
Our one- and two-bedroom apartments come with the added benefit of a kitchenette as part of their open-plan layout.
This is often favored by seniors who love community living but also want the flexibility to relax in their private apartment and prepare meals or hot drinks. The kitchen space is compact but well-equipped with all the essentials you need, and it’s spacious enough to be easy to move around in, even if you have accessibility needs.
Kitchenettes are also a bonus if you intend to host family and friends as guests in your apartment, whether that’s an evening of drinks and conversation, or catching up with children and grandchildren over a relaxed lunch.

We also offer linen and laundry services, so you’ll even enjoy falling asleep to crisp, clean sheets on the bed after a long and active day of fitness, social events, or excursions.

Sometimes, daily life means reaching out for some extra help. Perhaps that involves arranging a medical appointment or organizing a delivery. Even though you’ll have the privacy and independence of individual apartments, you’ll still get the family-like support that comes from community living.
