“My sweet mom lived there several months before she passed. What a wonderful caring staff!! They had meetings with my mom and my siblings to understand her needs, what they needed to change or do to be able to give the best course of action to help her and us.

“Sunshine has been great! Residents are kept active and busy. The staff gets to know the residents and most seem to enjoy their job. I would encourage families to visit often and communicate with the staff as soon as an issue comes up. It is my experience that if their is a problem the administration is quick to fix it.”
