the community is very homey and my parents really like the community. the staff is very friendly and caring. They are very accommodating to the residence, and the community is very clean. The staff go above and beyond and really care about the residence. I would recommend this community to others

My dad always speaks to the quality of the food and availability. My dad never did activities before and does them now. Enjoys himself and recreating with friends. I picked this facility because of the great incentive - fee off per month for 1st 5 months and the fact services are not tiered and price will not go up except for regular cost of living.

I would ask the nurse how they handle over the counter medicine. Ask if you can talk to the doctor BEFORE your family member goes in to see how medicine is handled or other health issues. Get the pharmacy straightened out. Observe the home health aids and the other residents to see how they interact. Mark all clothing, sheets and blankets with the full name. These were things we wish we knew about beforehand. Check the room periodically to see if it's clean and bed made. They have family dinners every once in awhile and it's a nice way to see other residents' family. The food was good too! I would recommend this facility. I've only met one person who was not helpful at all, the majority are friendly, caring and hard workers.

This was a really nice highly rated community. We really liked it when we visited, but it was way more expensive than what we could afford. It was clean and lovely, the staff was really friendly, we just could not get over the price.
