What Others Are Saying

There is always something for her to do. I really like that. She loves the food! She looks forward to going to dinner every day. I can’t think of anything they could improve on. Everytime we’ve been there she is just so different than when she was living at home alone. She feels safe there. When we looked around at our different options, the staff is what won us over. They were very friendly and helpful, and they answered all our questions.

I would have to say my favorite thing about this community is the amazing people that live and work here. They have a great staff and very friendly residents that I enjoy the company of. They have a common activity center where I enjoy going to keep busy and play different board games and participate in different events, Overall I am happy and have no complaints.
