Overall Experience: 5.0 out of 5
"My daughter has been there since 1997. During this time, she has been cared for with all the love and attention they can provide, both physically and mentally. She is not an easy patient, but they never fail to do right by her, keeping myself and my son well-informed about all situations. She couldn't be in a better place. She is well-fed, kept clean, and as happy as she can be."
