I'am doing well since my move to this community. It is a nice community, and everything is going very well. They have very kind staff, and they are always willing to help. They do a good job with the cleanliness around the facility. I enjoy the meals, and I have tried some of the activities they offer. My experience in this community is going well, and I would recommend it.
