Susan L
I was assessing the facility as a possible place for a 91 year old lady - she might actually feel at home in this place (especially since her childhood was spent in a house about 20 or so blocks away). The house was meticulously clean, the residents were all seemingly content (although I didn't talk to more than two), and the staff was conscientious and concerned for there charges. I may yet go back to them, although I admit they are a little over my initial budget - but I would have no qualms about having her there if finance was not a factor.
