My sister had to move due to closure of Pine Villa and the staff and admin made the transition very easy and pleasant for her and us. She is very happy with her level of care and especially the food! They have been exceptionally accommodating of her unique needs. Thank you.

I don't know why the negative comments from people. The facilities are modern and clean. The staff were very caring. Yes Covid rules were stringent, and the staff run off their feet, but I was very satisfied by the level of care and compassion. Thank you Arbour Creek and staff for looking after my dad so well.
