Key Review Excerpts

The rooms, cafeteria, and common areas were very clean and well-lit. All of the workers I spoke with were very friendly and thoughtful.

Prospective resident's family member · 2018★★★★★

This place is NOT GOOD …absolutely nothing to do all day…..nothing to read no activities no getting your cloths back after washing, people walking around with YOUR cloths on, truly just a place to house people with issues.
