I like the place. It's very clean. The people who wait on my sister-in-law are very attentive. She says the meals are delicious. They keep us informed.

I can't recommend the community due to the way we exited the community. We had multiple attempts to reconcile a balance due and it was never resolved and we never heard back on a resolution to this.
