PositiveI was warmly welcomed for my tour! A sign in the lobby welcomed my family and I by name; I was offered refreshments while I waited for my tour, but I didn’t wait long.

PositiveOur experience
The A/C has been on a temp unit for 6 weeks . The maintace people have been there along as my mom has been there , there playing catch up . The laundry rooms machines do not work or work poorly due to lack of maintenance. I have seen a salad served that should of been thrown out. My mother's digestive track ,let's say she's been in the bathroom a bunch. We even brought her to the Doc for testing ,whating for the results.
