Hello I absolutely love it here! The new DON Stephanie Howard is amazing. She has really brought a sense of leadership and team work amongst the staff. The care that aides give to the residents are amazing. Everyone is pleasant and helpful as well. The Adon Chyna was very attentive and informative as well. Dj was nice as well. Thank you so much for all that you do!
