There are not enough words to express how amazing this place is. My mother was a resident for 3yrs and they were great years. The staff was always caring, helpful, professional, and there when needed. There is plenty of activities, occasional field trips. Mom went shopping, to restaurants, and to plays with the facility bus and activities director. When I visited I was always recognized and greeted. Mom made friends, mostly enjoyed the food, and loved to make the staff laugh. A true CARE community.
