Highly recommended place for mom!

Staff is very friendly and outgoing. They went out of their way to make my mom feel comfortable during the adjustment and at home. She has made so many new friends and seems to be busy all day long! Her 1 bedroom is huge. Actually way more space than she actually needs. Also, tons of closet space. She receives lunch and dinner daily and is served restaurant style. She is always bring back extra food to her apartment. Breakfast is on her own, but it's usually a small meal for her anyway. Activities are thru out the
