The administrator was very helpful in answering questions and giving me information. I was able to see two different styles of rooms. I was impressed at the amount of room that was there. All of the staff seemed friendly. It is easy to get to and from since it is right off of Route 29 in Charlottesville. I hope that we can bring my mother-in-law in to see it soon.
