Staff is great. There is a wide variety of food for meals. The kitchen staff is also very wonderful. The cherry pie is my favorite and it makes me think of the head of kitchen Crystal. Activities help to keep me active and there is a variety of activities that support everyone. The therapy services are also effective and they care about comfortability.

CNA's & Nurses are very friendly & comforting to my husband who had to come here after being in hospital for month and being diagnosed with several issues. Food is good for nursing home food. Husband does have his bad days but a couple of the employees are very caring and sit down and talk with him and help him through those days and are very supporting to me. Administration and Kitchen staff assist residents in keeping their food & drink requests in mind so they get what they would like to eat. I consider everyone there to be a friend who care about my husband and myself.
