Was without toilet paper for two whole days and the CNA's were aware. Every day we were served scrambled eggs they were ice cold. My bed linens were changed one time in two weeks. Only received one shower in the first seven days of my stay. Would not recommend this facility.

I have worked in the industry and had many family member’s in faculties. I have to say that I am very impressed with the professional staff and employees caring and professional care they give to our loved ones. I love the patio area and music to enjoy the outdoors with all the residents. I receive weekly updates with COVID information for the facility and our loved ones. Also if I didn’t mention they have multiple activities for the residents. Always greeted with a smile from employee’s. In my opinion there is not a better facility I would choose for my loved ones.

Courteous staff. Extraordinary patience shown to residents with mental difficulties. Even when someone is being difficult, these exceptionally well trained and empathetic staff treat the residents with dignity and respect. The facility is clean and smells so, unlike some other nursing facilities I have been to in other parts of the state. Activities are well coordinated at this facility to give the residents an engaging and fun day. My mother, currently a temporary resident, has had nothing but positive feedback. I am sincerely grateful my mother was so well taken care of.
