    Warm attentive staff; mother thriving

    I moved my loved one here after a terrible prior facility and I'm so glad we did. The staff - especially Iffe, Rosie, Fatima and Micah - are warm, attentive and responsive; doctors return calls and my mother's diabetes improved from the 330-400 range to about 220. Administration listens, communication is excellent, and my loved one is genuinely happy and thriving. The building is older and some rooms could use brighter paint, deeper cleaning and minor maintenance, and the menu could improve, but overall I'm very impressed and confident in the care.
