CriticalIt is decent and I think they are fixing it up, but there have been problems. The washers and dryers often don't work, and they have run out of food on a couple occasions during meal time. The staff are staff are conscientious and caring, which is very important.

PositiveBeautiful facility and apartments. Staff are very friendly; especially, [name removed] who showed me around. Grounds are well cared for and easy to get around. I really like the ability to stay in same apartment even as one might need more advanced care services. Part-time nurse available on site. Remodel up shared space will be complete next month ([date removed]). Some apartments have wrap around patios w tremendous views of Sandia Mountains.
