  • Safe During the Pandemic and Friendly Environment

    I think the community is doing the job we wanted, in keeping our loved one safe. My loved one's room still isn't set up all the way due to the lock down due to COVID, right after move in. The menu doesn't seem to be offering a wide selection for different dietary needs, according to my loved one. It's a great place, everyone is friendly. The one thing I would make sure to tell people is to scrutinize the accounting.
