I brought a team of Minstrel Performers on Nov 10, 2017. Staff was extremely accommodating, residents and their family were incredibly loving and accepting of myself and the other Dance Ministers. We look forward to returning and singing some Christmas tunes together. The atmosphere is warm and the residents very well taken care of and protected. I was pleasantly taken aback at the home environment. Residents are not this warm and friendly unless they are receiving love and attention from this incredible and intimate staff. I pray all nursing homes were like this. Kudos and God bless each of you

Fell in love with the people and facility on my first visit. It's only been 3 days, but Mom seems to be adjusting well.
