About The Ranch

The Ranch provides an assisted living setting for up to 94 residents. Residents are placed in either a shared room in a Dorm setting or a private bedroom in a Lodge setting based on where staff and loved ones believe would be a best fit. The Lodges offer a vibrant, lively atmosphere; each building is filled with natural and ambient light. The Dorm is a great fit for those with sensory stimulation issues who still need active stimulation but in a more calming environment. The whole Ranch community is equipped with 24-hour a day awake staff. A staff of resident trainers provides supervision and assistance with daily living as well as life-enriching activities.
