I love it here. I feel safe and sound. The food is great. They are all pretty fantastic people. They are fun to be with and I love them. I don't want to be anywhere else. The place is simple. We have coffee here any time you want it, or juice, and there's plenty of water. They wash our clothes and take good care of us. They take us to different therapies. So far, I love it. They are excellent. They are very kind and very caring.

It just had all studio apartments. They were about 100 to 300 square feet (300 was the largest). They were way too small, and I wasn't interested in that. They also had no kitchens. All they had was a small bedroom with a bath. They had a big lunchroom, a lobby where people hung out, and an exercise room with a few bikes and things. I didn't see any activity rooms or things to keep people busy. It was a one floor facility, and there weren't a lot of rooms, maybe 30. They all had a grassy area right outside their windows. It felt kind of homey, if the rooms were just bigger. The manager who took me around was very kind and very nice.

The people made it very easy and helped us through the whole process of moving my mom in. Everybody that we met and talked with were very helpful and inviting. They're doing awesome. They have art classes, Bingo and entertainment, so they have a variety of stuff for the residents.

I selected here for my mother and the staff are taking good care of her. Within the first week, my 96-year-old mother in law confined to a wheelchair had been taken on a two-hour bus tour, a drive into the community and she hasn’t done that in years. She is out and about. Her speech is improving now and she is speaking in sentences. All of the change that I thought might be bad for her has actually stimulated her brain. The exposure to new things is helpful to her in ways that I never dreamed.
