Resident & family reviews
This is a high quality environment. The staff are caring and attentive. While environment is aging, it is a wonderful place. There are extras for those with special needs, they are always tweaking their system to improve the quality. You won't find negative attitudes here, maybe a challenge from time to time but many of the staff have longevity and do their best to work in the resident's homes and recognize their ongoing, changing needs adaptations. Nursing staff is very knowledgeable.
