This was the most wonderful place back when it was columbia care, but now it's been bought by AVALON it's a total joke.. my mom had a heart attack and not one person working there even noticed..my sister and I had brought the swelling in her left arm and leg up to them and not one person did anything about it..they were so swollen it was very noticeable and thinking that her caregiver that got her up and dressed would have noticed or even said something to the nurse but she did nothing. My mom's heart is only running at 20% she doesn't hardly talk anymore or eat anything..these people are to blame for this and need to be accountable..I wouldn't put my pet snake in that place..WHAT A JOKE THEY ALL ARE..

I wish I had the words to describe how amazing this place, and all the employees that work there are... They gave my mom the place to pass peacefully after an awful experience at another facility. I have so gratitude in my heart when I think of this place and the sweet faces that showed my mom love in every contact they had with her. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for that extra love!
