They all offer help if you look a little lost or unsure. \nThe food is outstanding in a dining room that is always clean and sunny. \nThe elevator is a little slow so you need not be in a hurry .

High turn over, no checks and balances in regard to medications and care. Emergency pull cords in room, batteries in them must die because no one comes. Across the board rate increases of January despite no improved services. New \"Chef\" residents don't care for food, little to no meat. Management and staff are friendly probably doing the best they can.
