I had my clinical site here for nursing school. The staff is so nice and helpful. It is very clean with no strong smells. I appreciate how well they took care of my group and our instructor.

Very impressed with this facility. As a clinical nursing instructor, this is the very first time I get a thorough orientation to a facility. My nursing students and I received excellent customer service from the administrator, marketing director, director of nursing, and memory care director. The facility is very clean and everyone is welcoming.
