I think the staff are pretty decent... though somethings that go on there just blows my mind.. Nurse's walking into your apartment and leaving the doors open when residents are sleeping or not even home... allowing others to be in an occupied apartment without that Tenants permission or acknowledgement and some of the food that I have seen these residents eat is absolutely horrendous.

It's not high end accommodations, but for those who need Medicaid subsidized assisted living, it is the best option in the area. A resident has their own apartment, which are open, airy, clean and fully remodeled from the original construction, with the full array of services of ALP.
