Key Review Excerpts
“The food is healthy and well served-but not inspired. The care givers are very supportive and friendly but a bit rushed. The place is kept very clean and the air is fresh.”
“I have house keeping once a week, they do my laundry and serve me 3 good meals a day and there are nurses around the clock that manage my prescriptions for me, what is not to like”
