The care at this community for this community. The staff are caring and always keeping me informed on her progress. The menu offers a good variety of meals that she is enjoying. They have activities that are helpful for her to participate. We would recommend this community to other families for the care and the value for others.

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.
