Key Review Excerpts
“The amenities are warm and beautiful with a strong community atmosphere. Robin is exceptional to work with and made my family members feel at home, treating them like family and at peace with this transition.”
“Even when alerted to changes and a decline in health, they dismissed our concerns. They prefer you to use the facility’s doctor/PA but those providers are rarely on site and even when the matter is even when the matter is urgent, they waited days to see our loved one”
“It is so clean and everyone is so friendly in one room they are playing games. They have several libraries. Robin was so friendly and showed us around.”
