The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had no problem getting visitation time. And my loved one was allowed to have friends come visit her as well. A friend of mine also had a loved one here, and they didn't have any problems either . All was positive. They continued to offer activities, and it always looked like they kept the residents busy anytime I came by.

Our mother is going well here. She is always dressed and clean. Since she can't care for herself, this is important to our family. The meals are tasty and appealing.

I was very impressed by the general cleanliness of the common areas and friendliness of all the staff we met on our visit. We were able to meet the cook, housekeepers, social worker and many of the residents; most of whom were walking the hall or sitting together in the front "living room" socializing. Every resident we talked to asked if we were "moving in" and told us we would love it there.

I have to say I am pleasantly surprised as to how well my mom is adjusting to this community. She has already seemed to have settled into a routine. She is doing activities when she wants and she is enjoying meeting new people and making friends. The food is fine and they serve good portions. The inside of the community is nicely decorated neutral colors on the walls and plenty of lighting. There seems to be enough space in the common areas around the building for residents with walkers or wheelchairs.

I am doing fine and I like being a resident of the community. The meals have great options. The staff are great in all they do. They plan great activities for us and they do great at cleaning the community. My apartment is comfy but it is very expensive too.

I had a nice tour of this community. Everyone was kind,and friendly to my family, and I. The staff I met was cordial, and informative. The experience went well overall, but I did find another community that suited our needs better.

I like the care here for my father. The staff is caring. The menu is good and a nice variety is available. He is offered activities and at this time he is not participating. We do recommend other families to this community for safe and great care for a loved one.

Friendly staff who care. Communication with staff good for me.

Moved my mom here just over 1 month ago and she is doing so much better here than where she resided before. There are so many engaging activities every day, and the entire staff is so well trained in how to encourage each resident's participation in those activities. Each day that I visit, I meet another staff member who has such a genuine love and concern for the health and overall welfare of each resident. The interaction between staff and resident is on a personal level to encourage residents to talk and even laugh while still providing the needed care and safety. RN's are reachable on site or by phone to update me about my moms condition or answer any questions I have. On site PT, OT, & a Nurse Practitioner were available for my mom upon her admission. These folks are amazing. The administrative staff is very helpful and reachable. Any questions and/or concerns are addressed in a timely manner. Only wish I had moved my mom here sooner!

Having to find a place for Mom was becoming very frustrating. Her special circumstances required more than a "regular" nursing home could provide. I just happened on this website and so glad I did. Over a 3-4 day period we were set up with a delightful group of people that helped us find just the place we wanted. The staff show care and concern for Mom and keep us informed of her sudden needs. All I can say is "Thank you"
