What this means for your family
This facility is a good option for those seeking a small, intimate environment where the staff is noted for being exceptionally kind and compassionate. However, if your loved one requires specialized memory care for Lewy Body Dementia, you should investigate their specific capabilities closely, as one recent reviewer found them inadequate for that condition.
