I don't recommend this place. Management is rude and nasty. The food is awful. Activities are few and far between. They only care on how much money they are making from residents. They are constantly short staffed. Look elsewhere for your loved one to stay. The people who work there have no certification. The director has not been trained and holds no schooling for this position. My dad lived there for a very short time in Assisted Living until we removed him out due to lack of staff and empathy.
