Resident Amenities
Residents Council
The purpose of the Residents Council is to promote the welfare and wellbeing of the residents. The Council is made up of elected representatives of the residents who discuss issues, ideas and recommendations with the management and members of the board. Board, management and residents work together to fulfill our mission of enriching and extending the quality of life for the seniors we serve.
The Residents Council meets the 2nd Monday of each month at 9:30 a.m. in the Lillian Pratt Parlor. All residents are welcome to attend. Residents are encouraged to contact their representatives on the Council if they have concerns they would like addressed at the Residents Council meetings.
Minutes of the meetings are distributed to the participants and are posted in the building.

Ad Hoc Committees
