"I got a feeling it was bright airy and clean." Jerry is totally blind.

"One of the personal care workers recognized me and we had a long talk. I got the impression it's a pretty well run place, and it is."

Jerry said the staff are wonderful, "They are very kind to us. Even though they are busy it seems they have all the time in the world to deal with you."

"We have really good meals, things are well prepared. They have two different chefs and they are especially good with fish."
- Jerry Fulmer, resident
