I have been to Stella Maris many times to visit my mother. The outside is beautifully landscaped which is nice for the residents. Every time I went, my mother was always clean and well treated. I have been to other communities in the area where this wasn't this case, so this is very important to me. They had special things the residents could do and events and games they could participate in, if they were able. Again, I will say that this is the best community I have been to, for nursing/hospice care and I would definitely return.
