PROS: Very nice. Has outdoor space for dining. More then 25% of population is men which is good for our family. Close to family. Family members can stay over night. Staff are very friendly and seemed engaged. CONS: Does not have nurse dispensing controlled substance meds so would need to have pharmacy prepackage as daily med dose so would cost hundreds of dollars more per month.

My wife has made such tremendous progress being here she is able to come home by the end of the week. The staff is wonderful here they are working with her alongside an outside physical therapy service to gain her strength back which she is doing. My wife loves the staff here they are so nice and patient. After dinner, she goes to play bingo every night she which enjoys. The food she does not like it has no taste to it no seasoning.

State of the art

The care my mom gets has been going very well. She loves the place and compares it to a vacation experience. The staff are respectful and responsive. They have a system to check on the residents often and monitor them throughout the facility. If my mom is motionless in her room, they check on her. They constantly have activities through out the day and it is well managed. Not to mention the food is great, which is the top complaint of all assistive living facilities by residents. A+

Nicest facility in the area. But rooms are very small. You could go "stir crazy" in there. Not really sufficient space in living area for 2 recliners and a TV with room to get by. Lots of common area throughout facility, but unlikely to be used much. Most amenities would not be used by [Removed].
