I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The guide was very friendly and gave me a chance to see all of the facility. It was very clean and tidy. The residents that I met were nice and welcoming. I talked to a resident that I knew and had not seen in years. (a relative of my deceased husband) She was 100 years old but so alert and able to remember me and we had a wonderful conversation. That was great for me. My uncle is a bit stubborn and refuses discussing a move. I will have to wait. He says he is not ready. He is 90 yea

Critical

Horrible Director

This New Director has fired, so many people that made this place what it was, she continues raising prices 8%, and increasing care costs, my grandmother has nothing to do because there is no activities! none of their Tv's work, and when you send an email to the Director or Call Corporate, they say they are working on it, they have been working on this for 3 years, our starting costs were $[removed] monthly, now we pay $[removed] and it's over we are moving on, off to [community removed].
