Visiting Hours (return to top of page)

We do encourage visitors at all times. There are no official visiting hours but we recommend that visitors do not come in before 9:00 a.m. so that residents can be up, dressed, and eat their breakfast. We ask that visitors do not visit after 9:00 p.m. in consideration of some residents who retire early. You should feel free to use the Cafe, lobby, and courtyards when visiting. Community areas are available for family celebrations, special arrangements can be made if you are planning a large party.
