Terrific home, knowledgeable staff, very clean, beautiful gardens. My mother has lived there for over a year and is very happy and well cared for. Kindness is evident throughout this home. I would definitely recommend this home.

I'm fortunate to live in this community with friendly people, lovely staff, and a "happy" teacher! (she teaches me computer in my apartment)
