Key Review Excerpts

During my time there in 2020, there was no better assisted living facility in the area. Meals were healthy, well balanced, and served on time. Medications and care were provided consistently by a staff who had genuine concern for, and interest in the residents.

Former resident · 2021☆☆☆☆

I'm a home care nurse and go into a lot of facilities. I had to see a patient at this location and although it is a humble place, I was very impressed! Very welcoming, the elders seem happy, and the food I saw for their lunch was way better than what I've seen in other locations.
