Questions for Your Tour

  • 1I noticed your team is very active in responding to feedback online; how do you incorporate that family input into the daily care plans for residents?
  • 2Since you have a smaller community of 54 residents, how do you foster that 'family-like' atmosphere during daily activities and group meals?
  • 3With your focus on a high-quality dining experience, how do you accommodate residents who may have specific dietary needs or challenges with memory-related eating habits?
  • 4Could you walk me through your current protocols for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the common areas and resident rooms?
  • 5Given your certification in memory care, what specific training does your staff undergo to handle medical emergencies or sudden changes in a resident's health?
  • 6How does your team balance the need for a warm, home-like environment with the rigorous safety standards required for memory care?

Key Review Excerpts

During our mother's almost fifteen years there, the staff made her feel loved as though she was family, their own mother. You couldn't ask for anything better.

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

The nursing staff, lead by Angie McCann are thoughtful, kind and so knowledgeable. We, as a Family felt Dad was in such a great place and Dad was happy there too.

Long-term resident's family · 2018★★★★★

My dad has only been at AP for five days now but everything we've experienced so far has been great, the management, staff food and cleanliness.
