Key Review Excerpts

We moved my dad into the assisted living floor and then to the memory care floor. He has had exceptional care. My mom on the other hand moved into a beautiful apartment in the building that is both comfortable and spacious.

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

I called to set up an appointment at 9:00 am and spoke to Laurie Nussbaum. She couldn't have been more welcoming and agreed to meet us 2 hours later. She took us on a beautiful tour, gave us all the information we needed, and introduced us to several of the folks who live there.

Prospective resident's family · 2025★★★★★
