I want to say nice things because overall the caregivers and kitchen staff seem to really try their best with caring for our elderly family member; And also in being helpfu and courteous to family and friends. They are severely short of caregivers and those who actually care for the residents. Kitchen staff & cooks are great despite what food options they have to work with. It seems the business is top heavy with administrative staff, some by-the-way, raise their voice if questioned about level of care, attentiveness and/or meds distribution. Take your loved one and your money and find a more pleasant and efficient senior home.

When the phone was answered it seemed that I had reached the maintenance staff. The female who answered acted as though she was there but knew nothing of the operations other than to call her supervisor when there were any questions. Upon waiting on the phone a more mature female came to the phone; I only wanted to know what I needed to do to see my grandpa. She couldn't even tell me his room number! What kind of price gouging place are they running there?? They appear to be unprepared, unprofessional almost rude. I am concerned about the safety of my loved one and I will advise the family to followup.
