Attentive staff, smiling faces throughout, happy residents- what more could you ask for? The grounds are well kept and filled with signs of community surrounding like chalk on the sidewalk! Very lovely, 5/5!

The amount of reports filed with the State of Michigan that have been investigated and found to be valid is unbelievable. How is this place even open?

I really liked the manager of this facility, she is very caring and forthcoming with anything about my friend that I am overseer of. Though she was not there for more than a month, when she was there she seemed happy. I was not allowed inside as the pandemic made that impossible. What I did see and heard from my friend, definitely would recommend this facility.

When I could not even walk in the home due to goat fecal I have a problem. Going through the door was a nightmare!!! I feel so sorry for the residents of this home. The aide Erica was very rude. The HOM bathaide had no compassion for the patient. I am an aide , have owned my own AFC home and the cleanliness, the atmosphere, is unacceptable.
