The mindset and mission of leadership and staff is also geared towards service. Additionally, our commitment as a non-profit is to care for our residents, even if they experience financial hardship. The distinction of being a non-profit community, with residents serving in leadership positions can be felt in positive ways throughout the entire community.Amenities and Services That Put You FirstFitness center with heated poolPickleball courtLibraryCorner Gift ShoppeThe Bachman Center special event venueThe Stauffer Spring House caf and club houseWide range of life-enrichment programsBeauty salon and barbershopTransportation to shopping, outings through life enrichmentComplimentary transportation to doctors office visits within 5 milesEmergency call system and 24-hour securityLinen and housekeeping services (apartments only)Maintenance-free livingHome care availablePet FriendlyCampus nurse, social worker, and chaplainOn-campus physical, speech, and occupational therapy servicesDine Your Way, Every DayThe Plow and Pineapple, our largest on-campus dining option, serves meals morning, noon, and night in a casual setting.
