Key Review Excerpts

The staff is energetic, compassionate and caring, top to bottom. I feel fortunate that we chose 305 preferential to the other good places we

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

The backbone and heart of 305 is the exceptional staff who create a cheerful and caring place to live. When my sister - who is a fall risk and needs help showering, -starts singing and cracking jokes, some aides join in and and her day starts with laughter..

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★

Do not place your family at 305. They promise you they will take good care of your loved one and I’m horrified by the level of neglect and deceit that has happened with my mother in the year she has been there.
