My dad has adjusted very well being here. Although he wished he was home he has come to terms that this is the place he will stay and now he is fine with that. He has fitted in with the other residents perfect and he is enjoying meeting new people and going on the field trips they plan. He has said he has nothing to complain about so we are taking that the food is good and all the services and the staff are good. We have found the staff to be friendly and kind. The community is close to my dad's doctor and the hospital he uses and it is also close to the family which is a bonus.

This was a big transition for my brother, and his move to this community. However I do feel he is safe, and in good hand. The staff is wonderful , and they really try their best to understand him, and his needs. They go out of their way to make sure he is well cared for. The community is well-kept, everything looks great when I visit. They provide nice meals, and have activities available for him whenever his ready to participate. I'am satisfied with everything they have done for us, and I would highly recommend it.

Not Quite The Right Choice For Mother

The family thought we had made the right decision in taking mom out of a skilled nursing community but we were mistaken. We had attempted to give her a little more independence that we thought she was in need of however now she has recently taken a fall and we realize skill nursing is where she belongs. The time she spent here though she really liked. She really enjoyed the staff and the residents and she enjoyed the food. It was just obvious that she just needed that extra care they couldn't prove which wasn't anyone's fault at the community
