The way they interact and speak to those with dementia is wonderful. They keep them involved and they are always saying hi to my loved one. They really understand dementia.

The entire staff from the director, nurses, care-givers, cleaning crew, maintenance, reception, kitchen and more are all highly trained and attuned to the special needs of their residents.
