Our family's experience

I would give our short time (2 weeks) there 4 stars. Staff was emphatic and patient. There's just not enough of them. The food was a good mixture of items.

While their facility is decent, maybe a little small, their staff and especially higher ups were extremely inconsiderate. Many of the times it was impossible to address concerns like staff letting residents stay soiled for hours or lack of attention with staff on their phone. It’s unclear who is in charge as leadership seems to always be changing and those who do respond do not seem to care nor provide us with any clear a

Caring and family friendly

All the people that were there greet us by our first name. When we have multiple family members there, they bring a cart with fruit, snacks, and drinks.
