Key Review Excerpts
“When you are 65, sign up, so when you need assisted Living you are already on the list. 4 levels of care. Lots of activities and social environment. It is right in middle of town so residents can get around nicely.”
“The good, deserving people who live here are surprisingly adept at painting, modeling, and carving, and the prices are great! It's a small shop, and the goodies will also help put a bit more jingle and smiles on these elderly faces.”
“An impressive building that serves as a nursing home. Well-kept and clean.”
