Our apartment is cleaned once a week with &quot;deep cleanings&quot; twice a year. Staff is friendly and helpful and provides nursing type care if needed for an extra cost which I think is very reasonable. Lots of activities. The facility has an indoor swimming pool as well as a pool table. There is a movie theater room with theater seats and sound system. In fact there is too much to mention it all. Including rides to the local Symphony when they are playing. Includes rides to\/from doctor appointments. Bus trips to local stores.
