I loved them. It didn't look like a regular senior home, but an upscale hotel. That's the way it looks. The food was good. Instead of having the dining area look like a cafeteria, it looked like a restaurant. That day they were serving salmon. They have a movie theater room with theater seating, and a game room where they would do demonstrations in there like they'll have a chef come in or someone who will do crafts. They do game nights and happy hours, too. The lady gave us an activity schedule because they also have people come in and perform like jazz bands and artists. They have a gym where they let the residents do activities like beating on drums or playing and doing stuff. The staff was very nice.

We chose them for our dad because it's close to my sister's house. When we were going around during the tour we couldn't go into anybody's facility to take a look and see how the place was laid out. Because of COVID we weren't allowed inside any of the buildings. The facility is nice, it's up to date, and they've just done some remodeling. We caught them where they had relieved some help, and we've had some issues with some of the staff, but now everything has been resolved. They had a cleaning of the house, so to speak, and everything's better now. They took the residents to the pumpkin patch, and they went someplace else, and it's just them without anybody else. Other than that they do the standard things like bingo, board games, and that kind of stuff in the building.
