Residents in independent living may have short-term guests. Unoccupied residences can be offered to visitors.  We plan a kitchen area for residents to use for entertaining visitors. We hope to include a 4-bedroom Air B&B-type home where families and visitors could stay with priority booking for Life Care Humboldt residents.
