If you need dialysis and care the combination is easy for all parties. The food quality is horrible. Meals come cold colder is cold - you order something and get something different.

A facility is only as good as its staff. Deer Meadows Retirement Community, for the most part, has very caring people. They are slow, however, in fixing things in the room and getting a new remote for her TV. I would recommend the facility to others.
