Excellent caring staff. Clean place. My Auntie [name removed] is here. I visited from Anaheim California. My auntie Husband just passed away. My auntie looked beautiful and happy. I talked with staff and they were very professional
Since I live in Orange County, I have only visited my Dad a few times there. My sister, on the other hand is there at least 1 - 2 times a week. We find the facility quite adequate for. The people are very friendly and seem to care about each person. They are willing to help in any way you ask. They provide a monthly menu for the meals, have live entertainment, and televisions available in each room as well as in the lobby. Each person has a nice bed and a closet to store their clothes. Overall, the facility is large and allows those that are mobile to move quite a bit. They also have a large yard that they have been improving upon. This is especially nice in the summer.
