Absolutely top notch staff. There is no better facility. Recently got a new DON and ADON and they have been there a combined 20 years so they know the facility front and back. Ashley, Crystal. Sarah, Crystal, Theresa and Raina in the unit are the best of the best with Dementia care. Misti the Administrator is easy to talk to and gets the job done. The food though is prob one of the best things. The entire kitchen puts soul into that food and actually have won awards. They will absolutely cook your loved one whatever they want 💙
