Our Community
You’ll find us at the end of a cul-de-sac, a short walk from the river, in the small, quiet town of Milton Freewater. The charm of our town extends to our community inside and out. Our gardens are something to see and enjoy on our walking paths. The lobby is spacious and welcoming. We’ve created special areas dedicated to relaxing and enjoying life.
Dining Experience
Residents can look forward to a variety of healthy and delicious meal options. We feature several options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as soup, salad, and sandwiches to provide residents with a wider selection of meal options. We seek to create healthy menus that accommodate each resident’s particular dietary needs and preferences.
Our program includes:
- Delicious meals prepared fresh by our culinary teams each day.
- A selection of both classic and regional favorites, including accommodations for religious and cultural preferences.
- Fresh fruit, snacks, and beverages available throughout the day.
