The 24-hour nursing supervision facility offers assistance for daily living, plus medical, nursing, therapy, dietary and pharmacy needs. The facility recently completed $1 million in renovations. Every hallway, resident room and therapy room updated, said dministrator Stephen M. Wetzel. Public WiFI was installed for residents and visiting family members.

Recently, the food service has been changed to a restaurant model. Residents also manage a garden of vegetables, with their crops used by the facility.

"It's improving their appetites. If they're improving their appetites, it improves their nutrition. If it improves their nutrition, it prevents illness," Wetzel said.
