I can afford to put my mother in here. Plus, it's small. There's not a lot of patients there. They got like maybe seven or eight patients in there. Also, it's close to my home. The rooms are beautiful. They are nice. The house looks nice, fresh, and open. They even have a big, nice backyard. So far when I go there, they have someone out in the backyard doing some garden work like that. They're also watching TV. They have all different kinds of stuff that they're doing. The residents seem to be content and quiet. It's just nice. It's always nice and clean when I go in there.

My dad moved in. The place is great. It's intimate. There's not a lot of people, so the place is really good as far as attention. The staff is friendly, very knowledgeable, and helpful. They serve three meals a day. There are not enough people to play bingo or anything like that, so it's just more one-on-one interaction. They have a courtyard and my dad goes outside every now and then.
