4.0
I really like living here. The management is nice in fact they're all great. The employees are nice and friendly. It's just a nice place to be.
Savannah Grand of West Monroe
4.0
The food is most times horrible. All the residents complain among themselves. For the monthly fees, the food should be outstanding. I've been in the food industry – it's not difficult to prepare "good" meals for a reasonable cost. Quarantine is unreasonable!
