This facility is beautiful. The staff are very kind and helpful. My dad is very happy and well-cared for here. Transition from TCU was very smooth. Dad has made new friends and enjoys having dinner with them each night. We looked at other facilities that were more expensive, but this one felt the best. Definitely recommend.
