Our Marv Chantler Residential Wing offers a warm home-like environment where residents and their families can feel safe, comforted and relaxed. Guests have often remarked that the residence feels like their “home away from home.” One of the most important aspects of hospice is for families to be able to be together. Our residence is designed to ensure that residents, their families, and friends can share valuable time together.
