What this means for your family

While the facility is praised for its dedicated culinary team and visible leadership, families should be prepared for potential hurdles during the initial inquiry process. We recommend visiting in person to bypass phone communication issues and to directly observe the care environment, as the facility's admission criteria may be selective regarding specific medical needs.

Key Review Excerpts

The head chef, I believe his name is Dennis is absolutely amazing. I believe he truly cares about the residents and their well-being.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★★

A great team that works together to meet and exceed resident care. Our administrator Matt is always out visiting with residents and staff and bringing us treats and showing appreciation.

Staff member/Family member · 2021★★★★★

Recp is the worse, very rude and unprofessional!! I had one simple question, instead of helping she said "We're not interested, thank you" and hung up on me.
