Thank you for taking the time to review our community. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed much of your visit. Though our campus is spacious, our community is small enough that everyone can get to know each other if they choose, allowing our residents to make lasting friendships with neighbors and staff. We are sorry to learn that you felt things were not as clean as they should be on the day of your visit. We pride ourselves on keeping our community in tip-top shape at all times; would you please drop me a line at your earliest convenience to share more details on how we can improve in this area? You can call or drop by my office anytime. Warm Regards, Kurt Knauer, Senior Executive Director
