Frequently Asked Questions

How much clothing do I need?

It is important to have comfortable clothing and shoes that fit properly. It is recommended to have five complete outfit changes in addition to pajamas. A sweater or light jacket is a good idea as well.

Who will be doing the laundry?

Laundry Services are available on-site for no additional charge. If you prefer to have your laundry done by a family member, you will need to bring a container to store the soiled clothing. Please be sure to use a laundry marker to write the first and last name of the resident to be certain all laundry is returned to the correct owner.

What kind of personal items can I bring from home?

You are welcome to bring in items to personalize you living space. It may be pictures of your family, a special quilt or pillow, or perhaps you would like to have your favorite recliner with you. Any type of electrical items such as a lamp or radio will need to be inspected by our maintenance department before being used. If you have any questions about an item, our director of maintenance will be happy to assist you.
