This is a small town facility and there are not a lot of shopping available, I would recommend this community to others. They have had a great plan keeping us covid free.

I am so glad to see pictures of residents in skilled care doing more activities. So many times when I visit, they are just sitting around. How sad. I enjoyed seeing them bowling, catching a ball with the parachute, and playing musical instruments.
