“From the reception its to the nursing staff the do their best to give great care. I spend time feeding mom, going to church services (video) and just love some of patients who seem happy but sad to be in the care center. Mom has dementia, good and bad days, but the staff love her. I'm glad she's there for now. Danna”

“My son has been living at the facility since 2014. He is now 46 years old. Staff are very friendly and he is quite popular there. He delivers mail and packages to the residents to earn a little income. I would agree with another reviewer. The smell and stench of urine walking to my son’s room can be quite awful some days!”
