Although these apartments offer a very little health services, they have on-site pharmacies/nursing care. Other services offered on campus such as laundry facilities, transportation or cafeterias. Most of the independent living apartments have constantly planned events like social gatherings, group outings and exercise classes, cultural activities and so on.
