- TPTim ParrishJun 23, 20201.0Beware of this place.Talk to some of the residents before you move here or place a loved one here. Our parents live here now and can’t wait to move! The food is horrible, they are rationing the food they serve, most of which is not fit to eat. When my parents moved there the food was excellent and the staff was kind .Now the management just doesn’t care , they will tell you if you bring up something that is not right “ that’s the way it is !” They had had water and sewer problems ,they have cut back on their staff, and closed their dinning room indefinitely So they can serve cheap box meals that are cold.They are spreading fear in the people that live there. It has been a really unfortunate experience .
- JLJean LardonSep 4, 20194.0I have been living at Las Brisas for seven years now and feel as if it is my home. The staff is warm and caring and the residents are a happy fellowship. I am a bit of a loner because I love to read, but I also enjoy the many activities that our wonderful Experience Coordinator, Julie, prepares for us. I especially enjoy the visits to historical and natural sites in our area, with lunch as an outdoor picnic.
