I found this place warm, home-like, and beautiful - very clean with family-style, home-cooked meals, backyard animals, flexible visiting, and genuinely caring, accessible staff who go the extra mile. My loved one was treated with respect in a nurturing, safe-feeling environment most of the time. However, staffing is inconsistent with high turnover and management can be absent; I observed unsafe narcotics handling by CNAs not licensed to administer them, which is a serious safety risk. Overall a hidden gem I'd recommend with caution until staffing and medication practices are addressed.
