Critical

Our family had an in person tour and the CNA who took us around was super nice, the apartments were bigger, it was more affordable and there was some definite advantages. However who the severity of our loved ones wounds there was less care available during the week which is why we had to go against it

My mother moved into the Suites in early June 2017 and was only actually in her apartment for about 5 weeks during the next 4 months. Those were definitely the most comfortable weeks she spent during that period. The staff were very concerned with her comfort and well being. The food and services were top notch and the suite was wonderful, clean, and well maintained. I would recommend this facility to anyone looking for assisted living.
