Independent Living
From what I had been told by my wife her dad had really enjoyed being on the independent living side. He was liking the company of the other residents and doing the acitivites. I am assuming that he had liked the staff and the food since I have not heard anything negative about either. I wasn't hands on since this was my father. Since moving here he has had to transition over to the assisted living side and I don't know how he has been doing since moving there.
They are doing a fabulous job. We are thrilled. It has turned out to be the best place for my two loved ones. I thought it was going to be a hard transition, and it has not been, at all. The staff has been great, it is the best decision we ever made. The food and activities are perfect. The care, everything is perfect. I live out of state, and we came to see the place and we knew, the minute we got there. This is perfect, and they are right on top of everything. I have absolutely no complaints.
