Would recommend

I would easily say 5 across the board. The safe is always friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. The apartments are very comfortable and the whole facility is clean.

Low cost quality care

The facility and care is pretty average. It's not intended to be a high end experience but in my opinion the cost is very good for what is provided. The tenants note that the food is mostly mediocre and the activities are pretty repetitive. Older folks sometimes tend to focus too much on the negatives. I'm more than happy with the level of quality care that my father is receiving.

New residence for my mom

A month and a half in, and my mom is so happy. She's making friends, but at her own pace. Lots of activities that she can choose to participate in or not. No one pushes. She has her dog and now has her new routine which makes her happy. It's quiet and cozy, and after talking with several other tenants, that seems to be the norm. They had nothing but great things to say about the apartments, the staff and their new friends. It was definitely the right choice for my mom, and it's great to see her smiling so much. She

Friendly caring staff

MEALS: All nutrition in vegetables is cooked out, due to over-over cooking. Personally? We do not eat pork (I know, it's personal preference), a lot of meals are pork and bacon is added to a lot of dishes/sides. I realize pork is cheap and economical. Chicken is also overcooked and hard to chew (yes, I have teeth). Salads are nice and nutritional. ACTIVITIES: After 3 pm and evenings, there are no activities offered. No get togethers or games. Weekends there is nothing unless you have friends or relatives to come a

Best value

All the residents seem to have their ups and downs. Some complain about food, some wander around aimlessly, some are happy as clams. Most are in a better spot than living on their own. All necessary doctors, hospital and clinics are VERY close to the home, most within walking distance. The general area is in the mid-lower income neighborhood but safety in the area doesn't seem to be any issue. I visited a few places within a 60 mile radius and found this one to be the best value for the money. Would recommend
