    Family-like warmth, exceptional personalized care

    The staff were warm, professional, and treated us like family-attentive, compassionate caregivers gave personalized, exceptional care so I had no worries leaving my dad there. The small, homey facility is clean, bright, and well-appointed with inviting common areas, engaging activities, and nutritious, delicious meals-my dad loved his room and the smell of fresh cookies. It became my dad's final resting place and was the best place for my mom in her last years; I highly recommend it.
