We were very pleased with the community. They took very good care of my relative that was there. Everything was first class. The attention, room, and space were all good. Due to the pandemic the only problem I had was the visitation schedule.

They don't have a laundry department like the place she came from. I do mother's laundry and a lot of residents do their own. I do think that they could provide more choices on the food menu and also have more activities offered as well.
