    Small home outstanding attentive staff

    I chose this small six-resident home and I'm very glad I did. The staff are outstanding and attentive, the place is spotless, the food is good, and they keep my family updated frequently. Extras like nail painting and a piano player make it feel homely, the location is convenient, and even when residents' health is fragile the care is excellent.
