    Spotless facility, caring staff, recommended

    I placed my mom here and we've been very happy - the facility is spotless, the grounds are beautiful, meals are excellent, and there are lots of activities (award-winning exercise, piano, outings). Staff are kind, attentive and competent; the executive director knows residents by name and care felt respectful and family-inclusive, even during her last days. Apartments are clean and comfortable with on-site salon/store and good dining options. Minor downsides: some weekend/front-desk staffing feels rushed and fees are high, but overall I highly recommend it.
