A great place for my sister-in-law who had to move into assisted living. Staff is fabulous, providing excellent care and attention. As POA to my sister-in-law, I easily can contact transportation, health services, residents care coordinator- in short a supportive and friendly staff. Also connected to interim Home Health to provide additional care and with SEVA top notch primary care provider. An answer to our prayers!!

Compassionate, intelligent people manage this retirement home, but they're understaffed, and slow to respond (if they respond at all). Our sister didn't have sheets for more than a week, for just one example. In fairness, she's not the easiest person to deal with, but still...a week without sheets?!

The staff is unprofessional. They can be seen and heard yelling at other employees where the residence can hear.
