What this means for your family
This facility is highly regarded for its active social calendar and kind staff, which can significantly improve resident quality of life. However, given the recent report of unprofessional and discriminatory behavior, we strongly advise families to meet with the administration to discuss their staff training and conduct policies before committing.
