We like the modern takes the facility has, it is brand new so it jumps out at you as being quite lovely. Since it is a newer community and them having to start fro scratch there are a few areas that could use some improvement, and work out the kinks. Most of the staff members are pretty friendly.
Read moreI think you have to stay on top of things, note issues, and continue to follow up so things don't fall through the cracks. But I think that would be no different anywhere else. The staff have been good. The facility itself is fine. From my observations, I don't' see a lot of the activities to be interactive. They seem to be more along the lines of putting a movie on, or showing a recorded mass on Sundays, things like that.
Read moreThey made the process of getting our famly member in very easy. It's a lovely facility and looks like a home. I like that everything is all on one floor and that it's a very secure facility. Everybody I've come into contact with has been lovely. One are for improvement is I would like to see them take the residents outside more often on nicer days. They have a very nice courtyard outside that I wish the residents got to enjoy more.
