Cranberry Park at AVIA Senior Living in Upper Arlington, OH

I’d rate them very. The staff can’t be beat – they’re very friendly. I think they’re a little expensive. The manager of the place will bend over backwards to help people. They do have activities, but I don’t do much with them. It’s a small community. It’s pretty looking and prestigious.
