What this means for your family
While some families report excellent care and dedicated ownership, recent feedback highlights significant concerns regarding staff training and management's responsiveness to complaints. When touring, specifically ask about the facility's dementia training curriculum and how management handles formal grievances to ensure your loved one's needs will be met professionally.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is amazing - so caring and helpful and patient. The owners, Ron and Carole, love what they do and that is plain to see.”
“The staff lacks dementia training! A real lack of communication with management. Very high staff turnover. The care givers gossip about other residents in front of family members.”
“He cared for them as if they were all, his own family. I have been doing pet therapy for years and I have never seen any employe”
