Always nice clean facility and very friendly staff always. Had dinner with my boyfriends mother at the apartment side there down at the dining hall. The food and service was excellent as well as the conversation with the residents. Everyone there is so nice. This is an excellent place

I sent my grandmother here for end of life care. The staff (Kelly and Renee) obviously cared about my grandmother's comfort and well-being. Facility is beautiful and has a home-like feel to it.
