The vision for The Farms
Our goal for The Farms at Bailey Station was simple: create a community for seniors that is warm and welcoming, and offers a first-class level of luxury, service, and stunning design throughout the campus. In June of 2022, this dream was realized as we officially welcomed our first residents. Today, we continue to grow and feel that The Farms is truly a special place for residents and staff alike—a place where fine people enjoy the finer things in life and have fun doing it.
