We have been here since [date removed]. All is going well so far. They are short-handed but still able to maintain good service. Wish they had a re-cycle program but know that would be difficult.
Everyone is wonderful. I really like the activities when I go to them. I don't always like everything on the menu but I like I can choose other things on ala cart for the things I do.
The apartments are very clean and cozy. Well maintained, the staff is friendly and compassionate. Management is also hands on with residents and ensures they continue to thrive. They set a good tone with the employees which contribute to a good atmosphere.
