My mom has recently made the move into this community and she is getting better day by day in her new living environment. I am overall comfortable with the care she has been receiving and the staff are always attentive to her needs. I am pleased to see them doing there best to try and keep her happy and involved in different activities and events. I will say there meals need improvement. I have noticed everything seemed to be over cooked and the quality in how they cook is poor.
We picked this community, because t's fairly new and is a nice location. They also had an opening where other places had a 2+ year waiting list. He is very happy there and has made friends and is involved in weekly activities like bingo and left right center.
