"I moved my mom here in Dec 2022. She is happy with almost everything but the food. There is no bread served with the afternoon or Dinner meals. The meals have definitely changed. There is no lift for the pool and only a single bar where there should be two so the residents can hole on getting in the pool. Also there are no wraps on the rail at the pool so it’s too hot to touch in the summer months. These seem like simple fixes. Thank you." - Sue…
