No Nonsence Most Of The Time.. A Few Children Here And There.
Opportunity and growth gives a helping hand for a variety of people in need, weather it be bathing, feeding, and home care light work, companiship as well.
I am very new to the community, but what I've experienced so far it is a very quiet, friendly and mature adults.
There is transportation right in front of the building. There's a coffee shop right across the street and you have your own parking space. There's also an elevator. It's quiet.
Took care of my mother and a cloe friends until they passed taking care of seniors is a blessing and joy to me I just like being a companion listening and talking to each of them I can learn something from them I just want to be a companion just bring to their life
