HELPING HANDS

It's definitely not a high-end retirement home. Staff a friendly. And so are the residents but it smells like pee or a musty smell in the building. And the chairs in the lounging area are all dirty. Upgrading needs to be done at this building. I have heard from the other residents that live there that the food is very well done and prepared. But the cleaning of the rooms, there could be improvement there. I would rate this place a one-star.

They treat their residents and family with the utmost respect and professionalism. Daily activities are a true blessing. Access to loved ones is encouraged and admired. Staff is friendly and inviting.
