I would say the staff is super friendly, but there's been quite a bit of turnover since we've arrived. The meals are not what we were promised, but Mom says they're slowly getting better.

We toured Journey and it is a very high quality place. The meals are all chef prepared and you can order food at anytime of the day so they are not served cafeteria style. They did not have any openings when we needed but I would highly recommend them.
