I chose this small assisted-living for my mother and I'm very glad I did. The friendly, smiling staff (two LVNs) are caring, prompt and knowledgeable, and everything is spotlessly clean - kitchen, restrooms and laundry. It's a quiet, homey, airy place with a nice backyard, private dividers in shared rooms, older but well-maintained rooms, and it's conveniently close to the hospital. Tailored to Spanish-speakers and highly recommended.
