It’s pretty good. It seems pretty clean. The staff is very friendly. They have Bingo night, potlucks, and other activities. Everything seems to be pretty. The monthly fees are pretty good. They have a little bit of an unusual policy in that the rent has to be paid with a check in the resident’s name and that was a little inconvenient.
The staff are very friendly here. They are always providing a clean community for all of us. I make my own meals and the amenities is plenty to prepare and cook my meals. The community offers a lot of activities. I would recommend this community for senior living.
