Key Review Excerpts

“Particulary, give 5 stars to the head evening nurse, Julia whose outstanding cheerful, loving ways and attention to each of her charges was a delight to observe...the way it should be.”

Long-term resident's family · 2019★★★★★

“The administration clearly unconcerned with her well being. Currently are ignoring attempts to retrieve her records and discharge plan. They have completely passed the buck and put it onto the hospital who cannot set up a care plan.”

Resident's family member · 2019★★★☆☆

“Absolutely beautiful!! Multiple restaurants in the buildings, with delicious, reasonably priced food; tons of activities on the bulletin boards, staff is friendly and respectful.”
