A lot More appropriate activities needed

On Most days, the residents are sitting, staring and sleeping between meals(BTW- too many sandwiches) The residents would benefit from best practices in mental, social, physical and spiritual activities. PS:The staff is Great - just not enough of them.

I toured this facility while looking for a place for my Aunt. I really liked this community a lot and this has to be my first choice. It is a small building with 16 residents per wing. While on tour, the director even let me walk around by myself. While I was going around, all of the residents were all nice and smiling. They even raved about the food. I would recommend this facility to other families
