  • Very Satisfied

    They're friendly and open. It's a clean facility that serves good food. I would recommend them to others. They're a little short-staffed, but it's been good overall. They try their hardest and do the best that they can. They're a little bit more expensive, but we chose that on purpose.

  • Our family had an in person tour and the people we spoke with were fabulous. However, the director who did the follow up with our grandparents were very pushy and all about the sales but in the long run they weren't even able to accept our grandparents. The people were still very nice and informative.
