Facility is very impressive. Staff knows every one by name. Management was very nice to work with. [name removed] showed all floor plans. Room sizes are good. Many different floor plans to choose from. I looked at this facility 3 times as well as see many other facilities. I'm sure people and places always have room to improve. When others ask if I'm happy here I always reply that I'm not unhappy. Life changes!

I was officially a resident as of [date removed]. However, I have not spent a night there. I am almost ready to make the move. I have eaten there several times. Food is very good. The facility is very clean. I have recommended to a friend. Residents and staff are very friendly, especially the servers.
