Ruth is incredible to work with. She is very responsive and she goes above and beyond for her residents. Late on a Friday night, Ruth went the extra mile to help a patient find a home when no other options were available. Thank you to their whole team for pulling it off.

My father lasted a year here before he fell and passed away the next day from his fall. Mother lasted 7 more years there. The nurse at the time was wonderful and one thing about this place is that they don't like surprise visits as it constantly kept them on their toes...which is the way it should be....would I recommend this place only if you have the time to go and visit the people you put there....

When my mom stayed here, she gained a lot of weight. Check out The End of Alzheimer's by neurologist Dale Bredesen, or watch interviews with Hal Cranmer who helps people with Alzheimer's in his care homes. Feeding people a bunch of desserts is not helpful for Alzheimer's.
