Key Review Excerpts

We could not have asked for more caring and considerate treatment of my mother. She had all kinds of complications that were time-consuming for the staff. They accepted the challenge with smiles and kind words and gracious treatment above and beyond the professional requirements.

Family of a deceased resident · 2025★★★★★

The staff is incredibly kind, friendly, and professional. My grandmother is well cared for and genuinely happy. Arbor House does a great job of keeping us updated via photos and videos on Facebook, and answering calls/texts whenever we need an update.

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

Initially both of my parents were residents in the memory care unit at Arbor House. The Entire staff at Arbor and Arbor House made the transition to the home seamless even though we were quite unorganized and unprepared.
