I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The staff are wonderful and warm to the residents and the family. The communication is wonderful with the staff. The community provides three meals a day with snacks available for the residents. There are cabins for the residents to stay with similar care needed for the residents in the cabin. The food is made in one common area, and then delivered to the individual cabins. The activities director left, and they are currently don't have one. They are trying to replace this position and maintain as many activities as possible during the interim. They have music, crafting, bible study, and movies as some of the activities offered.
Read moreThis is a nice community. The apartments are a nice size and roomy. They have a good list of activities for the residents to choose from. They have friendly front desk staff. My loved one seems to enjoy the food.
Read moreI would recommend this community for your loved one. There are a few things that they could improve on like the friendliness from some of the staff. You would just expect more from the staff in this type of setting when it comes to friendliness. They advertise cleaning every week and right now it is every two weeks due to a staffing shortage and we are not sure how long this will be happening. The landscaping could also be improved in certain areas of the community. Just make sure you research to make sure it is a good fit.
