Key Review Excerpts

The staff are caring, intelligent people who put the residents first. I feel free to live my life because I know Alder Bay is there to totally support Mom.

Resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The staff is very responsive to her requests, and keeps me well-informed about any issues that come up. The medical team is great, and so is Lushana the social director.

In addition to the well-trained staff that does a great job looking after the residents’ well-being, Alder Bay also provides other services such as on-site med techs, transportation to and from medical visits, delicious healthy daily meals and even an on-site hair salon.
