"My husband and I had Thanksgiving meal with mom in 2022. The food was really good. The turkey was the best Ive ever had. The staff was extremly helpful to everyone on this Thankgiving day. All of the residents seemed happy really upbeat. The staff was great with everyone. My mother has adjusted extremely well here after my fathers passing on March. She has made friends seems to be happy here. She has had some sickness here. But we expected things like this. The staff did a wonderful job during covid with meals. Closed the dinning room until all clear was given again. Covid was hard on everyone. They are great about following guidelines on these issues. When we signed mom up they provided 3 meals a day. Now only 2 meals a day without any cost adjustment. I wish they would go back to 3 meals a day. Because it makes it hard on families trying to bring in food. Our mother is very happy here. We are so happy that she had done as well as she has done. My sisters and I have been pleased." - Pam…
