There was a waiting list at the other places and she needed a place to go immediately. However, these people really seem to care about her being comfortable and welcome. I would recommend to others.

We thought the facility was nice but my parents were not happy with it. The privacy was not what they wanted, people would come into the rooms whenever they wanted without knocking and my parents didn't like that.
