Key Review Excerpts
“The staff here is not only highly trained in dementia care but also remarkably patient, kind, and attentive. They go out of their way to make her feel safe, respected, and cared for”
“She loves the activities, the food is so good she fears she will gain weight. She won’t let me schedule doctor’s appointments on certain days because of the activity calendar.”
“The tendrous and tasting Grilled Mahi Mahi is one of the best - Only a highly skilled chef can make it - you can't find it easily in many restaurants.”
