    Friendly staff; enjoyable but unclean

    I felt comfortable with the care - staff were friendly and I had no complaints; I enjoyed the dining and group activities. The small, cheerful community and great outdoor area were definite pluses. My concerns: cleanliness was below my expectations, I didn't see one-on-one care or posted menus, and communication with hospice could be better; overall I would recommend it.
