My mom is a new resident in the memory care unit. I cannot say enough good things about the staff, from the intake to the daily care. They have been amazing, kind and caring. Deb, the director of the memory care is detailed and compassionate. Kayla, RN has helped navigate medicine refills, appointment and my every little request. LaRae, I hope I have that right.. has been a gem.. with helping me get the endless calls to check on her and making special accommodations happen when I come in town last minute. There are so many wonderful members of this staff. A million thanks for all help and kindness. The day program has also expressed the appreciation and love of this facility. We do value and appreciate you!

There were many wonderful, caring people there. The food service problem were great too. There was one bad apple that was mean to my dad. The director needs to learn done tact and be a bit more caring. Her communication skill are lacking, too
