The facility (new wing) is beautifully designed, rooms are spacious, clean & bright. We were able to decorate the room with familiar items from home. Since the staff is the backbone of the facility, I would say they are caring, compassionate & responsive to needs of our loved one. We are grateful for the patience, professionalism & constant vigilance for her safety. The staff was proactive in communicating with us in any changes of condition or concerns. We were always greeted warmly when visiting. The owners were available if needed and very attentive to any questions or concerns we had. We appreciate the high level of care my MIL received.
