The place is nice, the staff is wonderful. They have issues with the meals. They are short staffed in the dining room.
Read moreI would tell others that this is a good place to go. This worth the money and seems to be about the same price as other communities in the area. The director is very good and has strict guidelines about the pandemic in the community. They have activities available; however, I couldn't judge them due to my loved one doesn't participate in them. There is a person that is in charge of decorating for the holidays and celebrations. The food is good, and they have a chef that will make the residents something they will enjoy to eat, if it is not on the menu.
