Key Review Excerpts

The staff is incredibly compassionate and attentive, always going above and beyond to ensure the residents are happy and comfortable.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

There has been a severe roach infestation . Over the past 3 months. During this time, 9 residents have passed away 🙏🏽, and at least 4 residents transferred to other facilities

Family member · 2025☆☆☆☆

The care he received was very good. When he entered Veranda, he just had a terrible fall and could only walk with a walker. Within a couple of weeks, he was walking on his own and looking very healthy.
