I lived in another community, then needed some rehab. I had a terrible experience where I was before. So coming here I was scared. It has been the very best thing that has ever happened. I am respected and cared for very well. Just wonderful!

It was a great experience for my dad and his family. We picked them because it was the way it made us feel when we walked through the door.

I would absolutely recommend it to others! It's a great place! It was one of the places that a place for mom scheduled a tour. Location to family was a big thing. It's also set up like an apartment area not a long term care facility.
