    Clean, light-filled home; excellent care

    My mom lives here and I’m very confident in her care. The clean, light-filled home has consistent, caring staff (usually two caregivers on site in scrubs), good communication, coordinated hospital pickups/supplies, reliable internet, planned activities and appropriate TV, and hospice has been pleased. Meals are typical American fare and overall she’s happy and well cared-for — I would recommend this community.
