Key Review Excerpts
“My 89 year old mother recently moved in and so far, its great and she is thriving! ... This level of active resident was just what my mom was going to need.”
“The staff has been so warm and supportive throughout this trying time that I'm hopeful again for the future. From Bari holding my hand to Joan calming my fears of this next phase, I know my dad is in the perfect place for all of us.”
“The facility is lovely and the staff is kind and caring, but the communication from senior management is terrible. They don't bother to inform families of important changes, like when the Executive Director leaves.”
