Great place

An orientation about the facilities and an explanation on the staff functions and expectations. Is there a chain of command? My mother has had to learn a lot about senior living the hard way! Thanks for asking.

Our families experience

Facility is bigger than most would expect so be prepared for lots of walking or rolling. Nice enough staff. Food choices aren't great.
