What this means for your family

This facility is highly regarded for its beautiful environment and the exceptional empathy shown by the admissions team during the move-in process. However, because one reviewer raised serious concerns regarding medication errors and staff training, you should specifically ask for recent state survey results and observe the staff-to-resident interaction during your tour.
