  • Surprised At the Good Value

    I was very impressed with the staff. They are good at what they do. The administrator had great stories about their own family, and you can tell she cares about the community and the population she is working with.

  • Very happy with them so far.

    We've been very happy with them. I'm very happy with the care that my loved one is receiving. They've been very accommodating every step of the way. I feel like they've gone over and above to accommodate my loved one, which has been really nice. So far, I would recommend them.

  • Nice Community, Needs Better Communication

    The communication is lacking towards the families, staff, and residents. If there are activities the residents don't know about it, unless the resident stumbles on to it. The community didn't even know when the quarantine was to start and stop. The community overall is nice, and most of the staff are friendly. The consistency in rules is another concern. For example, there was no separation of staff and residents for vaccines.
