My dad spent the last years of his life here in memory care. He was very happy. The activities were excellent. The food was good. The staff are incredible. Now my mom is here for skilled nursing care. She is very happy and getting far better care with much of the same staff as we all know from my dad’s time here. She is in the newly renovated area and the rooms are updated with a dorm size fridge/freezer and microwave in each room. She has a nice view outside her window. There are always great activities to choose from. I couldn’t ask for a better place for mom as she recuperates and preps for her next surgery and then for that recuperation. There is a new lead person there, Brittany, who we look forward to getting to know.
