This place is soooooo nice. Established in 1984, this place has very scenic grounds, and very tasty food. The only problem I have with this place is that I'm too dang young to come here. This is what you'd call a "retirement" community with on-site extra care and rehab facilities. Make sure to stop by and ask for Suzanne. I don't know if she actually exists, but it never hurts to be friendly.

This review is for the rehab floor at Caleb Hitchcock. I had an elderly family member there recently and it was great. The staff to patient ratio was very good. They were caring and attentive. The facility was clean and every employee I encountered seemed to want to be there. The food was excellent and the facility doesn't have that "nursing home" smell.

Fortunately, I have been able to meet some of the folks who reside here at Duncaster. To meet several folks there has been beneficial, I feel. The facility is favorable for the residents.
