For the most part real good experience for my mother,however woefully understaffed especially at night and i feel medical staff and home care staff could be better trained especially since this is an assisted living facility. I have more training as a home health care provider than your staff seems to have. The new activities director Emma is fantastic and Larry in the food service is great too bad he is handicapped by corporate because i know his cooking skills.
