I have visited my wife here every day for a month. Every day I am careful to observe the interaction of the staff with the residents. I am very happy to see the facility is very clean and well-maintained. My wife is always clean and well taken care of. She is always included in group activities in the common areas. I always see the way the residents respond to the staff in a favorable way. My experience with this facility and staff has been very good.
