I am a friend of one of the seniors living in the facility. It seems like a wonderful place to live. The staff is always friendly and helps when needed. I enjoyed coming to the happy hour they have every friday afternoon. The activities and atmosphere of the facility is somewhere I would want to be when I retire!

Management is terrible. The staff that does the actual job of providing care is wonderful but overworked and short staffed. Management can not keep provide conditions to keep employees. Expensive and overpriced for services given.
