    Clean caring facility but expensive

    I toured this clean, well-maintained, odor-free home with a welcoming, private-home feel - nice rooms, big living area and backyard. The staff and tour guide were friendly, knowledgeable and caring, kept family informed, and provided solid medication/health oversight (regular doctor visits, diabetes/BP monitoring, hospice/end-of-life support); my mom was kept clean and dressed. Downsides: very limited menu, some staff training and language/communication gaps that required family/hospice direction for basics, and it couldn't meet my need for a larger facility - plus it's expensive, so I didn't choose it but hope a room opens.
