Our 106 year old aunt has been there for almost a year and every time we visit the staff is kind, helpful and cheerful. She is doing fine there. The visiting rooms are comfortable. We enjoy visiting her there. Thank you for taking good care of her and all the residents.

I’m incredibly grateful for the care my brother receives at this nursing home. The staff are compassionate, patient, and truly treat residents with dignity and respect. They communicate well with me and go out of their way to make sure residents feel safe and cared for. Knowing my brother is in such good hands gives me real peace of mind. Thank you to everyone who works so hard every day.

This is the safest and best staff and place my sweet grandpa has been at. I’m so grateful! CNA and assisted living staff rarely have the staffing and appreciation they deserve. I’ll be bringing donuts and treats to them whenever we visit. Thank you for your respect and kindness!

My grand.a was there for a little over two years. We always had issues. It was a never ending battle with so many things and we went in circles with everything. The nurses that took care of my grandma were great! It's the staff that is so complicated. To top everything off, my grandma passed and she was wheeled out the front door and us family had to walk the same way with all her belongings shortly after. Here I am walking in front of all these people crying. One of my weakest moments in front of strangers. Then we get to the front and we're a few people standing in a line saying "sorry for your loss" and it felt like they were just rushing us out. When my great grandparents passed there about 15 years ago they were wheeled out through the side door that was just a couple doors down. My grandma was one door away from the side door! I HATED walking by all the people staring. It was awful! DO BETTER! Why the hell would this place think that's ok?! I'm so glad we don't have to deal with this place anymore. We will miss the nurses that took care of my grandma!!
