Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is amazingly friendly, helpful, and outgoing. And this isn’t just some. It’s 100% of the personnel we’ve met.”
“Management is accessible, responsive, and respectful. They listen and hear what you have to say and are very compassionate.”
“The facility is understaffed so that the nurses and aids who are competent and caring are so overworked. If you can't be with your loved one at least once a day, preferably twice a day, don't move them to this facility.”
