There are 35 spots at the RV park, which features a library, swimming pool, exercise equipment and other activities.
Aside from the recreational aspects, the CARE Center offers residents with an on-site nurse and basic RV maintenance. Facility manager for CARE Robert Brinton says the community provides individuals with an opportunity to live independently.

The CARE Center is staffed primarily by volunteers who work for the non-profit Escapees organization.
