Key Review Excerpts

It feels to me more like a high end condominium community with all the heath services vs. a seniors living... Amazing service, programming, food, health support, security, doctor's on site, wellness clinic, fitness & pool, hair salon, library, outdoor seating.

Aljoya has been a wonderfully warm and welcoming community for not only my mother, who suffers from dementia... but also for us, her family.

Memory care family member · 2014★★★★★
