Hi everyone, my mother has been here since 2020. Everyone here has been wonderful with my mom. The one thing that concerns me is dinner time never comes out at a decent time. All of these residents should be eating at an earlier time . The time that dinner comes out is too late 6:00 6:15 6:30 pm sometimes 6:50 . I’m sure the residents have been waiting since 5:00 pm there needs to be a change and soon .

DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE!!!!! This is the worst place you could ever put an elderly parent. DO NOT be fooled by the good reviews. It’s a money making organization. They ARE horrible!!!!!! Tasia in HR is the worst, and unethical…. They are not in the business of rehabilitating your elderly parent, or helping them with the basic of needs, and just looking to make as much money off of your elderly parent as possible…
