I didn’t realize what it means to this community for our elderly. I just never thought about it until my parents came here approximately 20 years ago. Now my husband and I are here and the same goes. The morale of the staff is great, you can tell that they want to be here and help us…they have a good sense of humor…and they’re friendly. So yeah, it’s just been a really good experience for me.
