We have been to 3 different LTC facilities with my loved one. This facility has the best staff. They look out for residents. They seem to care deeply about their comfort and care. I feel like we are in the best place we could seek care for the health needs we are dealing with.

Always double checking up on care for my mother. I liked the staff but totally lacking in care for end of life and well being of patients. Was a total nightmare at times and in the end of her life we were totally traumatized by how things were handled. If you are not constantly on top of their care then things are overlooked. Was an awful experience.
