Great Experience

I come montlhy to present slideshows of my travels around the world. The staff are extremely plesant to deal with and very professional and courtiess, sometimes even jjoining in watching as well. Their friendliness and humor are great and I would highly recommend this as a place to put a relative or friend.

Great fun place to be

This is a great community and you should come and visit. They have activities like art work, work out classes, walking, dinner parties, movies, bridge and more for the residents to do. I even entered a flower arranging contest.
