Key Review Excerpts
“As a former resident myself I must say this place is well kept , friendly Christ loving staff. Great food, great activities and fun outings.”
“Volunteered for the day and had a wonderful experience interacting with residents and seeing the ministry first hand. Staff is top notch and definitely care about their residents.”
“Run away as fast as you can! This place is treating all of their residents like inmates. The residents are not allowed to go to work, go for a walk, go to any store or leave the property whatsoever.”
