My friend and I were both tired and getting there this morning but the minute we walked through the door were made to feel welcome. And to go visit my niece Deedee and to see she's receiving wonderful care and the people all smile it makes it wonderful thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl.

They are so friendly, clean and caring here. Lots of activities available, and I love the giant indoor bird cage. And they let dogs visit, which the residents love. My grandpa is in good hands!
