What this means for your family

Key Review Excerpts
“My mother lives in independent living and has enjoyed every minute of it. The staff are so helpful, friendly, and courteous. My mom enjoys gardening, art, and dancing.”
“Meals were NOT appropriate for diabetics, cardiac patients, or hypertension (low salt diets). The food quality seems to be a running joke between many of the residents.”
“Mom was there just a short time due to her passing. She enjoyed the activities, friends she made etc. However, the office manager needs to go, anytime a “boss” has to belittle an employee in front of others, that is unacceptable!”
