They Are Caring For My Brother Well
reviewed on: 05/20/2016 by AnonymousThey are caring for my brother very well at this community. He seems to have adjusted well to it. The staff is good, they are very helping and they have been very welcoming. The community looks nice, they keep everything very nice and clean. The one thing that I have noticed, they do not offer many activities. I haven't heard any complaints about the food. I do feel we are getting our money's worth. It would be a community I would recommend.

reviewed on: 10/22/2013 by SueEveryone there is very friendly but very few speak english and its a little difficult to understand at times. This place has done more for my mom in the few weeks she has been there then being at another facility. They had her up walking the first week and as of today the wheelchair is totally gone. I never thought she would walk again. I was/am very very impressed. The facility itself is a little depressing as being a very old house. Wish there were more activities and she tends to just sit in her room all day. Overall as stated very impressed with the work/employees that has already been done.
Good & Affordable
reviewed on: 02/05/2016 by LABMy mom has lived here for a month, so far it's gone well. Fay (director) is quick to return emails and phone calls. Only complaint from mom is that they could offer more food.
