It's worked out quite well, actually. With what they've got they are doing the best they can. For the price and the quality of care we are really happy with them. It's a good balance with the quality for the price. Aesthetics aren't everything.

It is generally a good experience. The staff was caring and helpful. Biggest problem was they were struggling to keep the number of staff up to needed levels. My loved one needed more encouragement to participate in the activities that they had provided.
