It's not worth the money for my loved one's level of care and I'm sure the staff are aware but they would rather keep getting paid. They are nice people, but my loved one and other residents feel differently when I visit, so I plan on bringing her home next month.

My sister lived there and it was the best choice we could have made! The care staff were so loving, kind and very patient with her needs even as she declined. The housekeeping and culinary team were unparalleled too! We could not be happier and found the cost to be well worth the value we got.
