I chose here for my aunt. First of all, it's close to me, so I'll be able to get to see my aunt regularly; it's like eight minutes from me. Second, it was clean. The people were nice. She is a religious lady, and they said they would have church three days a week, and they would have Bible study. That's something big for her. And they have activities. Those were the main things. The rooms were perfect. That's all she needed, a nice room, and it was nice. Everybody I talked to was really nice. And when I was walking around, everybody was speaking and being really nice to us. I watched how they were handling people. So they did good. They had an exercise place where they could exercise them. The one thing I like is they can get their hair done. They had a personal room that when I came to visit her, we could go in that space. Like if I have five other relatives and we couldn't fit in her room, we could use that. They had a television room, an activities room, and they had several outside areas where they held events.

We toured for my daughter. There was nothing that I did not like, and that place was wonderful. Even my daughter expressed how nice it was. The facility, the way the patients have free reign or free run of the facility, the meals that are served, and the parking area were all good. It was nothing but pluses in my view and my daughter's view. They have the typical facilities that you would expect from such a place. They have lots of games, they have people who play music for them, they have a bus that takes the patients to the shopping area, which is not far away. They just have a lot of nice stuff, and the location is quite ideal. It's very close and convenient to a small hospital. We just like everything about it, and I can't give you any negatives about it because everything was positive.

The care that is providing for my dad is excellent. On the inside it looks a little bit old like the carpet is old, but it's not unclean. Their staff is pleasant and cooperative. They do a good job and I don't have any complaints. The parking is extremely poor, but overall the place itself feels homey.

It seemed pretty nice. The staff member who showed me around was very nice, accommodating, and answered all my questions. They seemed to have a lot going on at different times, like different programs and classes throughout the day.

It was very warm and inviting and had a light feel to it. There were lots of open windows, and the natural sunlight was coming through. They have the same kind of daily activities, and the residents can choose to participate or not depending on their interest level. They have a varied menu as well where the residents can select from the daily menu what they want to eat, and if you are not able to go to the dining room for your meals, they are going to bring it to you in your room.

During my visit, the staff there was very pleasant and friendly. The people working there were very positive about their work and enjoyed what they were doing. They were also very helpful. On the other hand, I liked the size and the layout of the rooms. I liked the fact that they had a little kitchen with a microwave and a refrigerator. I had tried eating there once, and the food was very good. They had a large dining room, and it was nice. They even had a table service. They also had scrabble, cards, movie nights, and a whole lot of things as part of their activities. I know that the doors were locked at 8PM, so the security was tight. Overall, it was a good community for seniors.

I thought it has a very nice setup. The woman who works there was very nice and helpful. The dining room was OK and fine. I would recommend the facility to others.

I liked it and if I were to choose, I would put mom there. I liked the people and talked to the staff -- they were very nice. The lady who did the interview with me was extremely helpful and she took me to all the rooms and the conversation was good. The rooms were of nice size. I did eat there and the food was good. The residents were happy as I got to talk to them. They do have many activities. I brought my sister to the place and she liked it, too. What I like best is that the residents seemed to be in a good state. It’s close to a major shopping and restaurant area, so there is plenty of stuff for the residents to do.
