My mom had lived in a different facility for 4.5 years. Her blood sugar was very high. After living at the cottages for a few months, her blood sugar is under control. The cottage caregivers are very attentive and caring. The administrative staff are friendly and helpful. I'm am grateful that I found this facility. This is a wonderful place. Clean and well staffed. I'm glad my mom is here. They go above and beyond to work with families to meet the needs of the residents.
