I have visited to attend a meeting and I must say it’s such a well maintained place that feels homely. The staff are kind too. Got such a good reception.

This facility really cares about not only the residents but also the staff. They have many very caring humans and I highly recommend heckling them out if you are looking for assisted living.

Beautiful building, Super staff, and awesome audience for our musical ventriloquist comedy performance today with the Assisted living and memory care residents. Special thanks to Brittany who volunteered to take pictures and arrange for selfies with many of the residents and our Puppets. We especially want to also thank the female resident who volunteered to be our HUMAN DUMMY, wear our female ventriloquist face mask and help us sing our "No Bully Zone" original song with Doug The Talking Dog. (No they did not sing at the same time.... we're not that good!)
