Welcoming front desk staff. Executive Director and marketing staff all pleasant and helpful. Answered all of our questions. Provided lots of details for us to consider. All the staff have smiles on their faces when they are working! Very helpful to residents and their families. Extremely clean and well maintained facility. Bright and up to date environment. Wish we made the move sooner.

As I expected; pleasant. Food needs to improve; there are more people with memory problems than I expected.We picked this community because of the location, ambiance, and the fact that rooms are live in place.
