    Small home, personalized care, excellent

    I placed my loved one in this intimate six-resident home and couldn't be happier. The attentive, kind staff treated us like family - personalized care, they knew her medical needs, her health and weight improved, and the room is spotless; sharing a room kept us together. Filipino cooks prepare fresh daily meals in the on-site kitchen, nurse/doctor visits and hospice are available, and the well-maintained, small setting means less risk of being forgotten - I highly recommend it.
