A Tranquil Environment
Our facility is designed to offer a peaceful and nurturing atmosphere, ensuring that guests and their families feel embraced by warmth and security.
From serene gardens to cozy guest rooms to inviting living spaces, every detail is crafted to provide a comforting experience during life’s final journey.
OUR COMPASSION TEAM
Our dedicated team members are the heart of The Gathering Together.
Each one is committed to providing exceptional care and support, ensuring that every guest and family member feels valued and comforted during their time with us.
When the time to pass is near, there are no more rules. If a guest wants a cigarette – we’ll help them outside for a smoke. If a guest wants an afternoon drink – we might join them. If a guest feels like they’d like a fast food cheeseburger – we’ll happily pick it up for them. There shouldn’t be any obstacles preventing a guest from being as comfortable and happy as possible.
