I have nothing but praise for the facility The staff is great.. always positive in the care of your loved one. Maintenance is remodeling some of the shared facilities and making them into individual facilities for residents.

It is a really nice park with a place to play baseball/softball, hockey and skating in the winter, playground equipment and picnic tables and restrooms for public use too. There is also a dog park and lots of open space to play croquet or whatever you enjoy.

The staff here are friendly and prioritize People's Health above anything else. When I go here I see happy individuals, who have activities, music and TV to keep them busy. I hope that when I am older and need a place to be cared for, it is a place like mother Joe's.
