My experience was great

3 stars for there cause. One star because they were booked. And another star because I can try again on Monday. Thats five stars because thank God for a place like this. Ill add to this after my stay if I ultimately can. So I stayed for one night. I am blown away. The staff was phenomenal, and the food was great. I felt very comfortable, and they genuinely care about helping people get back to their independence. Lancaster is a great place to recover from bad things with help from facilities and people like this.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
