It is beautiful inside and out, the staff is very friendly and helpful I have been there many times visiting patients and each time the same beautiful and clean. I would say you could eat off the floor. If someone in their last days and need a place to stay, this would be it.
Our family was so impressed by the quality of care, compassion and sympathy showed by all of the staff at this facility. We truly feel blessed for the professional care provided. The staff knew the struggles we were having and were very supportive. I would recommend this facility to those needing help with a loved one.
