My mom is very happy there

Staff is very caring and genuinely seem happy in their roles. Activities are plentiful- BINGO is one of mom's favorites. Weekly Friday entertainment is pretty impressive - pretty talented people come in weekly and encourage sing along and even dancing. In addition to daily organized activities, The activity room is a daily meeting place for card players and Rummikub games . Great for my mom! The facility is clean, the bistro and open dining area is very welcoming. I think the dining menu options are good. There is a nice outside patio to enjoy in good weather. The studio unit is newly appointed and roomy enough for one person to be very comfortable. Mira Vie was a great choice for my mother.
