What this means for your family

While many families report that their loved ones are thriving in a warm, clean environment, you must conduct a thorough due diligence regarding medical oversight. Specifically, ask the administration about their protocols for identifying health emergencies and their criteria for calling emergency services to address concerns raised by past residents' families.
