All the staff members are very nice & helpful. The rent has increased annually. That is a negative for sure. My mom has a studio. Size is small, as expected. All amenities are listed on the website I think.

Staff is friendly. But the facility is very short staffed, existing staff is over worked and sometimes care is delayed. Food is fine. Frequently they have musical quests that are very talented.
