The staff is great but some of their processes need to be refined. Good people that are somewhat poorly managed. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend the Wheeler Terrace community to other families.

I really like the staff and other care takers. Everyone is very nice and always very helpful with my any of my concerns. I would recommend to others. This is a small community. They have a very low employee turn around .
