Very nice. One of the rooms in the back would accomodate my mother's smoking but it is pretty far from the main building. Location is good.

My loved one passed away last month, and her ring which was an heirloom went missing from her finger. Her teeth were never brushed, and I was sad to see her when the care was mediocre at best. The staff seamed to be on their phones a lot and not paying much attention.

I thought it was depressing. I couldn’t get out of there quick enough when I came to tour. I would never recommend it. The cost was a little bit less though.

I took a tour of this place and found that it looks and feels like a prison. For the safety of residents door and entry ways are locked. The rooms are private but have to share a toilet and sink. I was showed a shower down the hall but it was still under construction. I preferred a private shower/bathroom for Mom.
