My dad wasn't there very long. But compared to the previous place he was in, it was excellent. It was private pay, and we paid out of pocket. But for us, that was the best scenario. Dad was happy there. The interactions I had with the staff were wonderful. Cleanliness wasn't perfect but was was pretty good overall.
