The staff and residents are super friendly. There are lots of activities, and they are awesome for the residents. The breakfast is available Monday through Friday, and this is awesome for us. On Wednesdays they offer a happy hour, and they even include some appetizers.

My mom only lived there for 2 weeks before she was hospitalized and passed away. They went way over in taking care of her and being there for me during a most difficult time. I would recommend them. We picked this community because they were friendly, clean and the price.
