My dad said, "I'll take it", after touring the facility and finding they had a room available. After a little over two months there, he has nothing but positive things to say about the facility, the people, the staff, the food, and the social opportunities. He is happy!

I would tell others that the staff here really bonds with the residents, always going the extra mile for them. I would say that the staff majors in caring.
The facility offers 3 different sizes of rooms depending on what you may need. The cable is available, but not much else.
