What this means for your family

This facility is an excellent choice for residents who thrive in a beautiful, garden-like setting with a highly attentive staff. However, if your loved one requires intensive monitoring for late-stage dementia or has high-frequency call light needs, you should conduct an in-person visit during off-hours to verify staffing levels and responsiveness.
