Gave a 5 Star review as it is beautiful and conveniently located, but that's the only plus. Was interested being disabled and elderly, but the price is totally INSANE. They do NOT provide enough for the prices they charge. Don't care if I was rich, they just don't provide enough for their extremely HIGH price. Do not recommend, keep your family members at home if possible, much cheaper to hire home help.

Providing an amazing restaurant style cafeteria served 3 times a day. My mother is well known throughout the community.The facility is impeccably maintained.
