I toured and placed my mom here - the staff are warm, attentive and genuinely caring, and the small, home-like mansion on gated, park-like grounds offers lots of activities (bowling, animal visitors), dog-friendly space and good meals. My mom is happier, eating and sleeping better, gaining weight and less stressed; residents get personalized attention and everyday smiles. Caveats: parts of the building are dated, rooms can be dark, there have been staffing shortages, occasional poor communication and troubling misrepresentation around vacancies/fees. Overall I'd recommend a visit - the kindness, safety and individualized care are real, but ask direct questions about staffing, fees and follow-up before deciding.
