To make sure the parents do not have Dementia or Alzheimer's at all before going there. It's really a good place though but. Doesn't hurt if your parents are already on Medicaid/Medicare it would help.

It's smaller but the staff is so helpful. We have only been there 5 months and staff has changed but so far even with changes they are great and caring. I would suggest everyone to check it out and see if it's a good fit for them.
