Assisted Living at Helga Forster House
Each room has its own individual floor plan which enhances the resident’s feeling of identity. Corridors follow a flow course instead of straight lines, adding interest to moving about the interior. These are subtle details and much thought and artistic endeavour has gone into their design out of a deep understanding of the spiritual makeup of human beings as well as their physical needs.
