  • A great place for my loved one

    The facility is really clean and the rooms like an apt. It is recently renovated. The food looks good but I have not been able to try it. The staff is easy to contact but sometimes communication could be better. I would definitely recommend this community to others.

  • I was referred by a placing agency to tour the facility the person gave me the tour was pleasant but while on the tour I noticed that the doors were wide open while the care staff was assisting one of the patients there...I was not ok with this. I also noticed that they are remodeling but there is much to be done to the facility. The memory care unit was what brought me to the facility and I was not impressed. The dining area had plates of old food piled along the sink and there were flies. I had hopes for this facility but I was quickly let down. There is definitely room for improvement here.
