My mother was a resident at Rustic Retreat for two years and I cannot say enough positive things about it. Don't let the unassuming front and location fool you, this is a great ALF with caring staff. The management, staff and residents could not have been better. We had a real challenge placing my mom, she was very averse to going to an ALF and we had tried two places before this one. She had hated the institutional, depressing vibe the prior ones gave off. Rustic Retreat feels more like an old Key West Motel, back in time. There are lots of plants and openness to the outdoors from every room. My mom loved it and called her room "her little apartment". Some of the staff have been there for decades, which is not the norm in this industry at ALL, they got to know my mother, understood her personality and made her feel welcome and respected. I'll take that over a nice entryway and address any day.
