A resident may have a guest stay with them for a few weeks, but the resident must be there and be responsible for the guest.

Security cameras will be strategically located throughout the complex for full common area coverage. A state of the art entry system with fob access is in place for all entrances into the building. These are programmed to each individual and may be easily de-programmed if lost to reduce unauthorized entry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
