Most of the staff were great. I picked ot becuase the cost and location were great. I would recommend to others but watch the billing. Twice they tried to bill me for the entire month when dad wasn't there.

5 / 5.0

It's a great place to live and great people to spend your time with. We picked this community, because it was next to the VA Clinic. I can see that improvement are needed in areas, but off hand at this time I can't see them.
