I've been very happy here - kind, attentive staff treat residents with respect and care, the facility is spotless, airy, well-lit and wheelchair-accessible with private or shared rooms and individual doors. Residents get taken outside, enjoy amazing food, family visits are welcome, owners are nice, and there are Spanish-speaking caregivers - I highly recommend it.
