I don't recommend this place. My sister was there for a couple years before she died. She had some good people taking care of her but there was a big problem with them answering the patient call buttons...7 out of 10 times, they wouldn't answer at all. My sister had a problem with asperating on food and that is what killed her. I'm certain she pushed her button for help and I'm almost certain they did not respond. I'm going to be contacting whoever I need to, to make sure this is checked into.

They have been most caring and kind to my Mother and myself during the transition. All questions answered timely. They are available and kind when I call. The activity director shows patience and kindness and works very hard to find fun things for the residents to do. It is clean also.I highly recommend this home .

If your parent is active when they go in they will withhold activities or TV to make that person conform and bed ridden! It's easier for them to take care a non active person! They don't watch them! It's all about money not a living human being!
