I toured this facility yesterday and was so impressed! The hospice suites they’ve reserved for patients and families are beautiful and so thoughtful. Don’t overlook this facility for your loved one.

Excellent staff all around. Good food most of the time. Pretty good activities to do. The administrator is really nice and friendly and helpful when you need something. Excellent social worker and activity director is pretty awesome too.

The nursing staff goes above and beyond to help facilitate the needs of the residents and allow them to experience a positive, safe, family-oriented atmosphere. The residents safety is always a top priority, while maintaining a level of independence. Tracy is the best cook I’ve ever worked with in a nursing home, and he caters to the residents wants and needs. The residents become family to the staff. The only thing I would change is to make the building more up-to-date and add in a courtyard for memory care! The quality of care is like no other place around.
