Great staff, very clean. They actually care about their residents. So glad our mother lives there.

The staff and administration are so very friendly, professional, warm and caring. Then there are the residents, who have embraced my mother warmly. My mom doesn't like being there, but knows that if she builds herself up, she can come home. She has enjoyed the interaction for the most part. It will take adjustment... it's been less than a week. But my brother and I both agree that it's the right place for her to be!
