What this means for your family

This facility is an excellent choice if you value a small, intimate setting where the owner is personally involved in daily care. The high level of communication and the quality of the food are standout features. However, you should specifically ask about their current protocols for managing infectious disease outbreaks and fall prevention, given past reported incidents.

Key Review Excerpts

Bobby the own was very helpful during the intake process and made things very easy. Zack was truly a blessing. He went above and beyond on many occasions to make sure my mom was taken care of and without any needs.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The staff danced with her, fed her very well, and otherwise were attentive to her needs. While she was there, Joy became my my mother's home, and the staff and other residents were her friends.

Dementia care family member · 2024☆☆☆☆
