If you are looking for a place for your loved one, this is it! My mom has the privilege of being a resident at Ilima at Leihano which is set up like a true family environment. The staff that work there from management, nursing, social activities, house keeping, to the dining room are all exceptional. Guests that visit always feel welcome and can feel the love and safeness when you enter the doors. I am grateful that when I visit my mom and leave, I am leaving her in good hands.
