My experience

I chose this facility because of the price and just from word of mouth in the community. They were very short staffed.

Overall a nice community that I would recommend

They do fun family events, they do seem lighter staffed on the weekends. I would have liked some support with the transfer process, however we were left on our own through that

Great Experience for friends, family and fun!

Amazing staff. They know the residents and they are always helpful if you have questions for them. They always have something fun going on. We thought it was an amazing place and didn't expect what they offered. Main area spotless. The memory Ward area was clean but odors. That might not can be helped on that side though .All staff was amazing from kitchen staff all the way through to the recreation specialist. [name removed] was our contact person from the beginning she was amazing to answer any questions we had a

Overall a nice community

My father needed assistance with showering, and attendant put wet clothes & towels in hamper. We felt it would have been better to allow them to dry on towel bar, or side of hamper. My mother would move them to dry when she came to visit. The toilet was always messy, and we felt it should have been cleaned more often. Facility itself was older, but kept very nice. One thing I wish this place had was an area to go for a little walk outside with my dad. There isn't room on the property for it, but my dad found it a l
