This residential care facility for the elderly (not the best word) is more like a beautiful family home than any other I have visited. It's clean and elegant, and the staff (including the owner Ricki) are the Best! Super attentive and interactive with their residents, they honestly love people and are naturally happy to help. The residents are treated with respect and loving familiarity at the same time. While you are welcome to stop by at any time during the day without notice to see how the place functions - you would be cordially greeted and offered coffee if time permits - if you call to make an appointment, you will get a sit down, lengthy visit to discuss all questions and concerns and care issues your family member might need. The smell (and taste) of freshly baked cookies welcomes you at your appointment. There is no rush, the appointment takes as long as you need to feel that everything has been addressed to your satisfaction. I'd be happy to live here myself!
