What type of security is used?
An access gate is used for memory care and an ornamental iron fence is typicallyo
used for a perimeter fence.
A concern is the location of the project. Traffic on E. Highland St. and N. White Chapel
Blvd. is already a major problem.
A concern is quality of the help.
We provide additional training above what the state requires. o

Demand for units for married couples is very limited. There will probably be eighto
units for married couples, resulting in 82 beds in the facility.

Units are typically $3500 - $8000 a month on a month-to-month basis. Rateo
increases are done annually, but there won’t necessarily be an increase every
