Good impression
reviewed on: 02/23/2017 by AnonymousWe looked at this community during the senior living search for my father. It was very clean and had a good atmosphere. I wasn't able to try the food during the tour. The regular tour person wasn't on staff so the maintenance guy showed me around but he was very nice.
It's very nice, the staff is very kind and very helpful.

The other day, my mother had not gotten any breakfast or been dressed and we I brought it up tp the director he was horrified. We are currently on the waiting list for memory care.
