Came to do a spark delivery drop off for a customer and the staff super rude security around 4:30 on April 17th very unprofessional.If you guys have signs for us to deliver to that specific door why have an attitude over it . Move ur signs if it’s not the right spot to drop off .If they treat delivery drivers this way imagine the way they treat the residents that live there . unbelievable

Better than a lot of places. I miss my grandparents who stayed here. The staff was nice to me there. You're not going to get as friendly folks elsewhere.
