    The facility itself is very nice and I liked it a lot. The rooms do have kitchenettes and walk in closets. The only drawback was that it was way too expensive.

  • An Okay Option

    I wasn't aware it wasn't a continuing care community. Which meant that if my loved one needed nursing care beyond 14 days, she would need to move to a different community. They were terrific while she was there. The service was great. It seems they frown upon if you choose different options than their standard, recommended options. For instance, they encouraged me to switch to the doctor that's affiliated with their facility, which I declined. But they sent their doctor to see her anyway and then charged for it, which I'm still fighting. But the staff there was wonderful, and my loved one misses the staff there more than anything. I just needed her closer to me, and I needed nursing care with the option to stay and live out the rest of her life there. Also, there's not a lot of residents there. And because occupancy was lower, there weren't a lot of activities. So my loved one was bored a lot of the time.
