I moved my mom here and she loved it - the staff are caring, patient and treat residents like family. The home is immaculate and spacious with private rooms, homemade meals, many activities (though bedridden residents have limited options), and a beautiful backyard with horses, turkeys and deer. Management is responsive, welcomes family involvement, provides compassionate memory-care and hospice support, and I highly recommend this warm, home-like place.
