December 2024

I’ve been staying here since the 3rd or 4th of January this year. From what I have seen and been subject to the staff is very caring and considerate of the residents. My time here has been very enjoyable. My medical needs are cared for by a 24 hour nursing staff. The meals are better than what you might find in most institutional settings.
