An excellent retirement home: secure, friendly, great staff, daily fun activities and delicious food. What more do you need in a retirement home?!

Food is not very good. Always salty. My mom’s room has had the ceiling falling down in the bathroom for more then a year with no one fixing the problem despite repeated requests. Must pay extra for BP checks etc. wish there were more/nicer options in the Soo.
