01/17/2012 An Family Member of Current/Past Resident Writes: My aunt has stayed here for 2 years now, and I have made many visits. The aides are extremely friendly and caring, the place is very clean, and the visiting areas are bright and cheerful. There is a lovely garden with a gazebo. The only complaint was about the food..."It isn't Italian." You can't win them all. But overall, I'd highly recommend this place.
