Friendly atmosphere and very caring staff with home cooked meals!

The staff is very available and caring. The facility is small enough (only around 60 residents) and that feels much "homier" versus a large complex. Plus, they really welcome families of the residents and have many special events to come together and socialize.

The maintenance have been very responsive. The food is supbar, and it's pre-prepped.The fruit and vegtable selection is limited. The services in the dining room is below average. The friendliness of the staff is okay. They could improve by making the place smell fresher. On a positive note, they do check on the residents. I feel my loved one is in a safe environment.

Bright and Clean

When I toured Poet's Walk San Antonino I was greeted with friendly staff, from reception to workers inside and outside, are very friendly and polite. Everyone talks to guests and residents. Poet's walk was bright and clean, with very happy residents. Another loved one was at Poet's Walk a while ago and he was so very well taken care of . My loved did pass away, but during his stay at Poet's he was well cared for.
