The bistro doesn’t seem like they know what they’re doing or must just forget to turn on their machines when they come in that morning. I tried ordering a coffee and was told that coffee is more of a lunch thing. Where is the sense in that? And I know exactly what time they open and arrive each morning and I ordered it after 8:30. The machines should be on and if they forgot they shouldn’t tell people it’s a lunch thing when the next day I seen them giving people coffees at the same I asked for one but I thought it was a “lunch thing”.

The staff is remarkable - helpful, friendly and professional. The facility is not only attractive and clean, there are several places for people to gather; the dining area, fireplace seating area, the bistro or just find a quiet place to check out the amazing views. If you need a skilled nursing facility for a loved one in Bismarck, North Dakota, this is the place for them. Gentle, loving care. They even have rabbits!
