Key Review Excerpts
“The manager there, Lori Hansen, is extraordinary. It's not just me saying that - she has many "Best of the Year" awards on her wall, for good reason.”
“The facility is like a resort. The food is extremely good, there are lots of nice bright open areas to relax, listen to the piano or read a book in the library or go up to the garden overlooking San Diego bay.”
