I chose this small, home-like place and was glad to be referred. The staff are warm, get to know residents, the owner cooks great meals, and the courtyard and piano make it cozy. Care was very personal and often excellent, but rooms are small, activities are limited and residents have little say. Staffing and owner/caregiver issues caused inconsistency, and it's pricey-still, I'm grateful for the care my wife received.
