Lilly Pads Salon is owned by Tammy Lilly and she is amazing. While my mom was a resident there, she would go above and beyond to help my mother out in many ways. She is also a fantastic stylist. She is very dedicated to her clients and is a very hard worker.

We love Lilly Pads Salon, the on-site hair stylist,Tammy, has been doing my mother's hair, and mani pedis for a long time. Now that my mother is in the ALF, Tammy is seeing her regularly and will even go to my mom's apartment if need be.<br>Thank you, Tammy for taking such good care. Your skills and kindness are top notch!!

The activity director, John, was terrible to work with. Interrupting me while speaking, not friendly, impatient, Not understanding and hung up on me. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced in my life. Especially after the fact that we just moved our elderly mother into the apartments. I think he needs a vacation or to reevaluate if he actually enjoys this job. He should be fired.
