Key Review Excerpts
“Used to be a nice place. But unfortunately lack of a good and steady maintenance crew along with an unfortunate management's lack of ability to continue to keep up this facility up and running smoothly has gone to the wayside.”
“My grandma lives here. She likes it. I wish they would keep it up better. They used to offer weekly bingo for the residents but it now 2 times a month.”
