Excellent facility I could not have asked for better care for my grandparents.

My in-laws were here for a few months until we pulled them out. They didn't have a room where they could stay together so they were separated. They are understaffed resulting in long delays in caring for their residents. Many residents, including my father-in-law, were left to sit without any activities. Most just slept. When they did have an "activity" they rolled everyone to the center of the facility and left them to socialize. The food was ok but wasn't stellar. There are a lot of fine nursing homes. Colonial Manor isn't one of them.
