We manage a growing number of senior living communities, many of which are located in the Southeast. Our corporate office is located in Atlanta, Georgia, where a team of people work behind the scenes to make each community as successful as possible. Because we are a management company working for different groups of owners, our managed communities are called by different legal names or entities. Many, but not all, of our communities are called Arbor Terrace. The Arbor Company is also known as The Arbor Holding Company, LLC. For the simplicity of this handbook, we will refer to The Arbor Company or the Community, and identify you as an Arbor team member. Please note that your actual employment relationship and your paycheck will reflect the legal entity associated with your specific community (the Community). We currently manage communities in the following states: * Illinois * Florida * Georgia * Maryland * New Jersey * North Carolina * Pennsylvania * South Carolina * Tennessee * Texas * Virginia --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.arborconnect.com/the-arbor-way/history.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
