The Ballentine was very nice; it was one story, and the courtyard was really nice. They have different room sizes.

I visited this facility
I visited The Ballentine. It looked like a nursing home even from the lobby when you walked in. I did talk to the staff there and got some information regarding how being a veteran can help to defray some of the costs of staying there, but I got the feeling that it was a level of care that was way beyond what we were looking for at this time.

The facility is well-kept as well as the grounds. The personnel that work there are very pleasant which I think is amazing; it is a tough job. The rooms are clean and the food is good; my in-laws are happy. They've been there since May and they've been very happy.
