★★★★★
PositiveStaff were cooperative, pleasant, helpful and supportive. Food was average and facility was clean. My brother was only there for respite and although scheduled to stay for a month only stayed 2 weeks. Activities were limited , room was ok.

When we visited with mom, [name removed] again was awesome. She really listened and connected with us and mom. The food was so-so but since have renovated the kitchen. When I ask mom how dinner was she has high praise. That is significant coming from my mother! Mom is happy and safe. She made connections with neighbors and we could not have asked for anything better.
