Mom is Happy - Highly Recommend

Apt is very nice Staff keeps it clean with daily garbage removal & weekly dusting/sweeping. Any maintenance issues are promptly service. Laundry is done weekly and is promptly returned. In-house medical team is very attentive and always nice. Other staff/aides also seem very genuine. Meals are good, but a bit redundant. A lot of chicken & fish entrees, but Mom has mentioned that 'beef/steak' is rarely served. Still table service is prompt & daily 'alternatives' are always available.

Plenty of services available staff was very warm and inviting. I would recommend to others. Actually just did today. Unfortunately my parents didn't stay because my dad just didn't like the idea but I think it's a beautiful place.

So far, I'd give a 5 for all categories! My Mom seems to be very happy there. Staff is wonderful, food is very good (with lots of choices!) and there are many daily activities to choose from. Mom seems very happy!

Good resident experience

The facility was clean and inviting. I did see the staff cleaning frequently interactions with the staff were very good. They were very friendly and very concerned of the well-being of the residence. We had a very good experience with my mom's stay there.
