Living Options & Care Levels

The Kiwanis Pavilion is designed to support residents through some of life’s most significant transitions.

As a resident’s needs evolve, the Pavilion also offers palliative care, ensuring that those approaching the end of life are surrounded by comfort, compassion, and dignity. This continuum of care means families can feel confident that their loved one will be fully supported at every stage, without the uncertainty of having to search for a new home as circumstances change. The mission at the heart of everything here is clear: to serve people living and dying with frailty and dementia through compassionate comfort care and a collaborative relationship with each resident and their family.

Why Residents Choose The Kiwanis Pavilion

Another simply said that outside of home, there is nowhere else she would want her husband to be. These words speak to something that goes beyond the practical details of care. The staff here take the time to understand each resident as an individual, including their dietary needs, their daily routines, and what brings them comfort and joy. For families, that level of attention brings an enormous sense of peace and relief. The Pavilion’s homelike environment, with meals prepared on site and a warm, familiar atmosphere throughout, helps residents settle in and feel at ease.
