Key Review Excerpts

The cleanliness of the facility inside and out is great. The maintenance staff resolves issues timely and effectively.

Family of a resident · 2024★★★★★

The services promised in the contract were not honored. There is no in house medical transportation. The bus was only running across the street once a week for groceries or not at all because it was broken down.

Resident family member · 2024★★☆☆☆

I'm suspicious of these glowing reviews. My father and sister lived here until recently -- food was so inexplicable they began photographing it.

Family of former residents · 2023★★☆☆☆
