We all love the staff. The food is good, serving 3 square meals a day, Every Day. I would most definitely recommend this facility to others.

Victoria Park at Walkersville

5.0
I am happy with the community and the room I got fits most of my furniture. The community is always clean and maintained. I have been able to eat from the restaurants that are across the street and there is plenty of shopping stores around. This is in a good location.

Celebration Villa of Martinsburg

They seem to have a big turnover in the staff which is concerning. The food is just not good. It seems by the time my mom gets her food it's cold and the servings they get are very minimal.
