My mother was a resident here for the last year of her life. Every single person who worked there was kind to her and obviously cared about her well-being.

Please do not send your loved one here. I would not allow them to care for my dog. Anytime you ask for help it is a big deal. My grandfather inlaw asked to go to the bathroom and staff told him he could go in his depends and they would change him later. This place is awful! Who tells someone that?!?!
