Top notch, wonderful staff

I could honestly rate each category has a five. This is based on my father's feedback as well. For the most part, it's the staff. Notably, [name removed]. She's a phenomenal human being. [name removed], the Director, as well. Rooms are specious and well equipped The place is kept immaculate and clean.

friendly, and kind staff

The facility does not have a diabetes management component, which I did not realize until we had already decided to use them. The staff are extremely helpful and always very pleasant. They work hard to greet everyone by name. I have been extremely pleased with our treatment there. For some reason in the beginning, we had trouble having my mom's room cleaned on a weekly basis, but they have addressed that.
