About this community

The community’s website describes support as tailored to residents’ needs and mentions help with dressing and medication schedules. A respite program is listed for people who need temporary care, and caregivers are listed as speaking English.

My husband is 85 and I'm 78 and we're still healthy and both going. But my husband had two brain surgeries this past years and we thought it's time for us to start looking what are the options we have, just in case we get in to that situation. The facility was really comfortable and reasonably a good place to stay. But the food is mostly a vegetarian's menu and I have problems in eating only organic food. But in general, it's a very nice place with nice people.
