Key Review Excerpts

Assisted living for under 50 is almost impossible to come by. These folks are upfront , caring and on the ball.

Friend of a resident · 2017★★★★★

Its horrible. Took 3 weeks for cable. Month later still no bathroom door. Days with out t.p. floors are wet. No staff anywhere

Resident · 2020☆☆☆☆

It has been almost impossible for the last 6 months to view a tv program without service interruptions. The screen goes black for minutes at a time or while watching a program the screen freezes.
