“Overall, I've been pretty happy here. I like the setup; it's a smaller place, which you don't find too often now. Management does a good job, and I feel like I can talk to them. Housekeeping cleans pretty well, and maintenance stays on top of things and usually comes right away. The new staff who've come in have been real good. People are real friendly and approachable, I feel real comfortable with my mom being here, and I would definitely recommend it.”
“I looked at six different places before choosing this one for my mother, and I felt it would be worth it. When I walk in, it feels like a second home for her and for me; they're like family. I can knock on the office door anytime and get answers. They help her at mealtimes, there's always something on the calendar, and her room is always clean. The nurses call me with any concerns and have met every need I've mentioned. I've already recommended it to others.”
