“Not so “caring.” Very chronic issue of uptight, rude staff.”

★★★★★Dawn Blair · 2016-11-16 · via Google
“So nice! Mother in law is so happy there! Lots of activities, friendly, clean, good therapy, the set up is more welcoming for socializing than most places I've seen. Not everyone just sitting in a long hall.”
