“It's a nice place, and this is where I want my mom to be. Management addresses our needs, and somebody is usually available when we need something. She's very busy and content with all the programs; she tells me she's had a busy day. Maintenance is timely and very nice and helpful, and the nursing staff pay attention to details and keep us informed. She loves sitting by her window watching things.
