    Warm homelike facility, attentive staff

    I'm very pleased with this warm, clean, homelike facility - comfortable, cozy rooms and common areas, a pleasant smell, and hearty home-cooked meals. The staff are friendly, attentive and not pushy; Mrs. Standish goes above and beyond with personalized care and on-site doctors and nurses provide peace of mind. Engaging activities, social outings, and transparent all-inclusive pricing (no monthly PPE fees) make it an inviting, private environment I'd recommend.
