Much better then it used to be. Lantern health services was managing and it was horrible. Whoever has taken over has done a much better job!

My aunt lives there and I want to thank the Admissions Coordinator Sierra Athow for her assistance on a special project. She helped my aunt and cousin make a video for my mother's 90th birthday celebration (which was held in a different state). It was incredibly meaningful and something that I really believe many facilities would be too busy to do. I am a geriatrician who specializes in long-term care, and I found this to be truly special!
