We really like the nursing staff and the manager, our only complaint we have about the place is over the weekends there are no regular staff members. The rooms are nice, and our loved ones thing the food is good.
This is a nice place for your loved one to be. I would recommend to take your loved one to see the community. If you can stay a little bit and see activities in the community you will be able to see how things go.
I'm glad I put my mom here. For the most part, the staff is friendly, helpful, and kind. I really truly love the day nurse, we've gotten very close. I can call/text her at any time and she always responds. She keeps me informed and updated on mom. I visit often and I'm able to get in anytime, day or night, which I really like. It's secured, but accessible. As far as the food, the do try. My mom is on a puree diet and it's been somewhat of a challenge. For instance, instead of real eggs they used powdered eggs. Mom doesn't care for them and some of the other puree items. I would suggest more/improved puree diet options. The chef doesn't speak English, so it's hard to communicate with her about it. But I do love her, she's wonderful. They have a lot of activities and an organized schedule posted for them, my mom just chooses not to participate. But I've seen them going on and they have a lot of residents that do participate. This is the most affordable facility in the area, I did extensive research during my search. Their rate is the lowest within a 50 mile radius. Housekeeping is on top of things all the time, it looks like they do it 24/7. They also shower and change bed linens twice a week. Overall, they do provide pretty darn good care here. I would absolutely recommend this facility to family and friends. When it's my turn, this is where I want to be.
