Key Review Excerpts

The facility is small, but with a gorgeous patio and the small size means the staff have time to spend with all of the residents. My mom has been living here for almost two years, and every time I visit she has been cared for, kept healthy, and treated as an extension of family.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The facility was recently remodelled to feel like home and I must say, it sparkles! The front desk staff work well as a team with getting messages across to the nursing station and to the residents.

Resident's family · 2022★★★★★

The staff care for the residents, eat their meals with them and listening to all their amazing stories! Management also takes time for the residents and the family to make sure the transition is smooth and as easy as possible.
