Manager does outstanding work! Some staff do only as little to get by. We have been running out of food per menu.

I have visited here while looking for a place for my grandfather. If he hadn’t needed a higher level of, I would have moved him in right away. The staff was very friendly and even invited us to stay for lunch so my grandpa could socialize with other resident, Which was really important to our family. The community is nice, And we truly enjoyed meeting both the staff and residents. My grandpa even said he felt like family.
