Key Review Excerpts

The memory care unit at the Villa has been a godsend for my mother who has dementia. The staff is loving, gentle, and all inclusive.

Memory care family member · 2021★★★★★

In her last days, I was at Addolorata 24/7. I was absolutely astounded by the level of care from all the staff, top down. Many I had never encountered before because I usually just visited in the afternoon. Every client is treated with dignity.

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

The staff is outstanding - very caring and kind, attentive and professional. They were terrific to my Mom - she truly felt loved, safe and cared for.
