Be Consistent With Policies

Be consistent with transportation, Dining room meal start time, room service costs, and weekly apartment cleaning. The menu for July was great and we loved the variety! Please have more options on Taco Tuesday. I am a traditional meat and potato person.

Highly Recommended for Vets

The staff was so helpful in helping me jump through all the hoops necessary to get my father qualified for aid. The amenities, room size, and cleanliness are all amazing especially when compared to the price of rent.
