The place has been recently painted, the people are very nice, it feels personal because everyone knows your name, but the meals are lacking. Food is my mother’s main complaint. Most things are prepackaged, canned, processed, sugary or unappetizing. The facility is not to capacity, and so they reduced the hours of some workers. My mother has had to wait quite awhile for someone to come help her. No place is perfect for everyone, but my mom seems to like it there.

The location of the community is probably our number one factor for choosing this community. Unfortunately, our loved one was not able to participate in any activities because he had to quarantine in his room for his stay.
