If you don't worry about your loved one bring them here, as they take great care of your loved one. They had very good food and a good chef. The staff communication with the family was good, and kept us updated via email or called.

We picked this community, because of the location, and it's close to my home.. It's a great place. I guess they are all pricey, but I would definitely recommend it. It's about 15 min further away but the cost is much more affordable for whats in the bank.
