*Effective August 1, 2020 room rates now include a COVID-19 monthly surcharge ($50-$150/month). Reduced resident capacity and increased services associated with COVID-19 health and safety measures make it necessary to institute this temporary monthly charge. It will remain in effect for the duration of the global pandemic in the interest of keeping ISH open while continuing to prioritize the health and safety of our residents.
If you have questions, please reach out through our contact form here, or email Resident Manager Jen Simpson.
