I placed my mom here and overall we're very happy - attentive, loving staff; excellent, restaurant-style food with variety; bright, newly renovated, hotel-like building with a rooftop patio; small, homelike floors and lots of activities and memory-care programming so she's eating well, gaining weight and thriving. There are recurring issues others mentioned - staffing shortages/turnover, occasional slow night response and a few billing/missing-item or care lapses - so I'd recommend researching and staying involved. For our family it's been a blessing and gave us real peace of mind.
