This place is an excellent facility that specializes in the care of Chinese speaking people. It is well maintained and the staff is always ready to help. My mom lived there until she passed .
I took a tour with [name removed] , what a sweetheart. She was professional, knowledgeable and represented the company well. I am looking a ways out, but defiantly my first choice. I was very impressed. They also have a great Asian infused menu.
Everyone from the receptionist to the administrators to the caregivers has been very kind and does their best to make my husband feel comfortable and at home. Our experience was a bit different because at first he was just going to be a temporary stay, but then it turned out to be permanent. That eliminated the talk about "We are putting you in this place." By the time we decided he wouldn't be coming home, he was very used to being there and it seemed normal to him.
