Key Review Excerpts
“I must say the people are very friendly, down side I wish I was told about. you don't have air conditioning that will work all year round”
“Great staff and clean. Not much holiday involvement going on for the residents though.”
“I know someone that lives there, my best advice avoid moving there. I has gone down hill. Plus any season it is ungodly hot, stepping into the hallways is stepping into a oven.”
