What this means for your family

Key Review Excerpts

My siblings and I placed our mother here with the Doctors telling us she had 24/48hrs to live. She lived four years, striving in the facility, surrounded by staff that became her second family… our second family.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★★

After Arcadia purchased this facility, the people in the assisted living portion were told to be more “independent”. They took away the transportation, they cut the hours of the housekeeping, and have been reducing “assistance” for the elderly that need it.

Family member of resident · 2025☆☆☆☆

Best place my grandparents are here they are nice, caring, listen to everything you gotta say, they treat your family like it’s there family, best place to have family go
