Care & concern toward my mom & others by the staff on all levels about mom’s safety her satisfaction & health. Very friendly & respectful to her. They go out of their way to interact with her. They know she is hard of hearing & they treat her by making sure she hears & understands them. They are very patient with her.

The people who were close to mom seem to really care.

Provide a clean, comfortable and safe environment.

You plan services for us – Life Enrichment Coordinator does a wonderful job and she plans well for us. Admin Assistant is very helpful (computer) she is delightful. The office staff helps when they are needed.

I really like the Villa floor plan and meal option. I like the exercise programs. Staff is cheerful, helpful and friendly. When we signed on to the wait list we were invited to eat more once monthly with other Villa residents so we already knew some of our neighbors

A new facility is nice. Glad we moved to a villa. Bathrooms are large & spacious. Lots of activities – though have not participated yet.

Making one feel welcomed. Attention to individual residents.
