When I first walked in the door for my tour, I was greeted by [name removed] at the desk, Christmas Carol's and engaged residents in the parlor for morning exercises. I felt welcome immediately! I knew the smaller setting and friendly, active residents and staff, offered the very sense of community that my uncle would enjoy. This would be his new home after leaving NJ to be closer to our family in Central NY. Since he moved in, he has had great care, met other resid…

It was nice but did not seem to be a safe space for my loved one. I had security concerns.

Very kind and compassionate care

They are easy to work with, they were kind. They helped us through some difficult choices. My mom didn't end up staying there very long, but they were always willing to assist. They were constantly giving feedback. Overall, a very good group of people.
