A Tapestry is a picture, made up of individual threads, all woven together with purpose and skill. A skilled artist can tell an entire story by weaving those threads together.
That is what we are and continually strive to be. Our threads are people; on-site staff, caregivers, community leaders, families in need, and most importantly… our residents.
The picture we weave is never finished. It’s constantly growing and changing. Each new resident who moves in, each new team member who decides to wear our logo, and every family that we touch makes our tapestry richer and more beautiful.
We hope you choose to become a part of our Tapestry.
