We used it for day care, respite care and later full time care. It provides freedom of movement inside and out, great porch, lots of roaming room inside and out, lots of windows and sunshine. Quite, peaceful, lots of staff interaction, upbeat home-feeling setting. Staff attentive and tuned in to quality of life issues. Residents really like it.
