PositiveThe staff is exceptional, very caring, supportive, fun, wanting what's best and treat us as individuals We don't personally receive any nursing help, but have observed that they are that way too.

★★★★★
PositiveAdministrative personnel are easy to approach by residents, family and employees. I am comfortable talking to them about any concern. [name removed], the marketing person is very pleasant and knowledgeable, a big help. Maintenance is efficient and prompt. Medical backup is easy to set up with nurses in the building.
