The facility is clean & spacious with welcoming indoor and outdoor public spaces. The staff is personable, professional, and hardworking. It is obvious the workers view the patients as their own extended family.

At night they are under staffed and it can take 3 hours to get a response to a patient call. During the day getting her pain meds can take longer than 3 hours.
