Visiting my sister we watched the Super Bowl staff always friendly A
Unfortunately and this is sad to say. I was visiting a family member here this past weekend and I’ve never seen a more dingy facility. I’m concerned with the Covid going around that folks that live there are going to get sick.
They took care of my in laws and I feel that they did good. Also the rooms are clean and no bad smells. I would recommend them to anyone
It's a nice place and I enjoy the fact that they are remodeling and adding on to the building.
