The staff is very friendly and helpful with any questions. They are great with my loved one and he can be difficult at times. They call me if anything happens. The place is always clean. They do the laundry. The move in went as well as one could expect. It is hard for them and hard for me. They were very encouraging to me. You can visit any time, day or night. The meals smell great, look appetizing and are very good. They have an excellent chef. You can eat with your loved one if you want to. I would recommend this facility. It's an older facility with 20 private rooms, although it seems very homey.
I really love this place i feel that my loved one is in an amazing place. The nurses are wonderful they are attentive with the care needs that my family member needs. Meals are healthy and good the portions are great. One of the things that my loved one does mention is the soup being the main course for dinner it would be good if they made this a side. They do however, offer other things on the side. I would recommend this place to a friend or loved one.
Apartment room location in the building is based on income level. Lots of paperwork to be completed to be approved for an apartment. Takes time, be patient!
