“On the top of my list are the grounds. I love how each unit has a court yard; most with swings or gazebos, and basketball mini court with room to play many games. The possibilities are endless as far as outdoor activities. The trees are beautiful from the fall foliage to the cherry blossoms in the spring. Patient care is top notch as staff from every department always place patient care as top priority.”
