Really enjoyed visiting this beautiful place. Jeannette (marketing director) and Uma (care director) are so caring, kind, thoughtful and helpful. Essential to have them show you the place, because it is a fabulous option for senior care.

Beautifully restored WWII Air Force hospital. Great location and view of Bay. Looked at several places before deciding to settle my wife in a room there. Care staff and management has had a lot of turnover in past year. They have handled that well. Special shout out to Jennifer in placement. She was more than a sales person. Felt she advocated for the best placement for my wife.
