“Visited a family member. Staff friendly and kind to my family. Facility is clean and well cared for... Same for my family member. Highly recommend!”

“This looks lovely. It’s weird seeing the kitchen without a stairwell in the middle of it. Spent many summers at this location in my younger years while it was a private residence. Glad it’s being used to help people. I’d sleep in the room at the end of the hallway off the kitchen.”

“Exceptionally well-managed facility, dedicated to the well being of the seniors in their care. Numerous group activities led by experts in their field; and close attention to the wants and needs of each individual.”
