Key Review Excerpts
“From the moment we walked in, you can hear a lot of people speaking Japanese. We were able to have lunch, which had the taste of a home cooked meal.”
“The facility let him borrow furniture. The first month was a wake up call because my dad is healthy and mobile at 97 years old. The friendly staff, activities, care and cleanliness soon persuaded my dad to live here permanently.”
“She feels safe that the health staff are always accommodating with her needs and are there 24/7. She told me that they are very helpful and nice to her.”
