More than a facility - it feels like home.

The staff, all the way from the top down, is approachable. Everybody is kind and caring. When I visit, they seek me out and talk to me about what my mother has been up to and how she's feeling, positive and negative. They call me often to discuss her health and care plan. They have excellent communication, not just in their friendliness but also the frequency and quality of their communication. I feel safe and secure having my mother there. They take very good care of her.

Feels like home

I attended an open house looking to place a family member. I was welcomed immediately by both staff and residents. The residents and staff were equally as excited to show me their home. As anyone can imagine, transitioning a parent is an extremely difficult process. After spending a great deal of time answering all of my questions, the staff and residents left me excited for my family members future instead of the aprehension that comes with placement. Bless you for your beautiful facility that feels like home.

It's super old and has no shocks so the old folks are tossed around and could possibly get hurt. Dad won't ride it anymore because it hurts his back too much to bounce around like that.
