    Clean grounds, compassionate staff, seamless

    I placed my mom here for a long stay and have been very pleased. The cottages, grounds and courtyard are clean and beautiful, activities are engaging, and the staff - from aides to the director and nurse - are kind, attentive and compassionate; hospice care was seamless. I recommend this community.
