We could not be happier with our decision, we know our mother is safe there. The food is excellent with a wide range of choices. The rooms are very nice and adequate, they have many options to choose from. Our loved one has a beautiful view.
they are very interactive with the residence, responsive, and also very friendly and kind The rooms sizes feel a little small, My dad is happy with the food and it looks good. I would recommend this facility to others.
