My sister Beth was there and I couldn't find a better place to have a loved one there. Every time we have been there every room has been spotless. The nurses and CNA's have been very attentive to all the clients. I believe that each of the staff there realize each of the people there have lived a life full of ups and downs. Most are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers Aunts and Uncles. They have had to work hard for what they have in life. This is the last home they will have. I got that feeling from the staff there. They care about each person there. I wouldn't hesitate about going when my time comes. Thank you to all the staff for doing an awesome job.
