“Visited a family friend here and the staff was sooo friendly! They took care of her and made sure she ate and her food was cut into tiny pieces so she wouldn’t choke. They also changed her and I noticed there’s no rashes (which has happened in different nursing homes) and she seemed very clean and well taken care of! Thank you so much to the staff and anyone involved in her care ❤️❤️”

The African American man who is the physical therapist was nice as we…”
