I just moved my Mom in last Friday and it went very smoothly. I left with a great deal of confidence that it was the right facility for her. As we were settling up her room, the staff immediately engaged her in activities - she barely said good-bye to us. I checked on her twice over the weekend and they were happy to report that her transition was going smoothly.

Thanks to all of the staff for all that you do!
