Key Review Excerpts

The Medical Team staff are terrible. The wait times are regularly over 30min. They just made a huge mistake in changing staff and bringing back old staff who had multiple complaints.

Family member · 2025☆☆☆☆

The staff and residents truly feel like family, and that means everything to us. My mom has been here for a couple of years now, and knowing she is in a place where people genuinely care and can be trusted to provide excellent care is priceless.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

I've had my loved one there for almost 4 years now and he LOVES it there. He raves about the food and the people there. He loves playing Bingo and doing the Senior Olympics.
