GEM Retirement Living
The attention to detail is apparent from the time you step into the beautifully furnished lobby until you enter your well-appointed suite. All of the common areas have soft tones, fine furnishings, and rich fabric, and have been constructed with the retired mature adult in mind.
Our Retirement Living facilities offer well-appointed suites with a full kitchen, dining room, and bathroom. Although clients require minimal care in these facilities, they rest assured that professional staff are on duty day and night, always ready to provide friendly, attentive assistance.
For those who require more assistance, an Assisted Living option is also available at one of our locations. We offer a private room and half bath with the option to adjoin two rooms.
