My father has been in this facility several times and each time our family has been impressed at the care and kindness of the staff. On several occasions they have picked up on illness in my father even before I did, so I appreciate the close observation and how well they have gotten to know him. We have had experience with other facilities but nothing has been better than the care we have had here. Looking forward to the opening of the new facility!
