  I could not ask for a better place to have put my mother. She had a rapid form of ALS. The last 6 months of her life were spent here. The staff was kind, compassionate and caring not only to her but to my entire family. Even being short staffed they provided her with the best care they possibly could. The staff has kept in touch with me since her passing asking if there was anything I needed. I feel so blessed that she had such a great facility taking care of her.
