Everyone here are so kind, patient, and caring. I feel at ease knowing she is here. Only complaint is with their billing department, so far our first 3 bills have been wrong, they correct it but for those that aren’t observant might be overcharged. The billing department is not on site.

I have told people that you get a safe place in a good part of town but I have concerns on the level of personal care she receives. She has been very dirty on several visits (hair and clothes) and the activities are few and far between. There not a exercise area.

The care received is great, I the nurses and staff are wonderful. That is why I decided to take my Dad there. The facility needs to be updated for what the cost is. My experience has definitely been overwhelming, this was a very hard decision for me. I would recommend them.
