And why do I consider Great American Assisted Living a “5” star ALF? Because the staff and management are very caring and knowledgeable. The facility itself is very pleasant, and newly renovated. Excellent spacious place for seniors, where all their dreams will come true, as they enjoy a very good quality of life.<br>Place where you can breathe a lot of peace, tranquility, respect, impressive cleanliness, organization and attention to the resident from its Owners and all the Staff, above all the care and attention they provide to each one separately according to their needs.

We were very blessed to have toured this wonderful facility last week. In fact, we were so impressed by the administrator, Nicole Soto , And all her staff that my husband will be moving into the facility this Coming weekend! We have viewed a lot of facilities and were delighted that this primary veterans facility would also accept seniors who do not have military backgrounds, but both of our sons retired from the military, and this place is so safe with kind and loving people, both staff and residence that anyone just needs to take a tour and you would be sold. I’m where you want your future home to be. It was made very clear that kindness respect and understanding of senior citizens was how this facility is run. It truly is like going home. I will update my comments in the future with. I’m sure so much more praise. Also folks read up on how This third Generation of veterans started taking over and changing these facilities into the best of the best —- Five star!!! Truly, a prayer answered. The Lynch Family.
