It's so family oriented facility, where the residents are treated like one of the family. Care is second to none. We liked the smallness and the people that cared for my mother, and also the, country setting on a lake.

The staff are really engaged in the residents and care about their best interest. The facility is put together with the thoughts of aging in place truly means. The food has gotten a lot better but it would be nice for maybe a deli option available or a small cafe in the independent living.
