Key Review Excerpts

The building is beautiful and well maintained and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Sandi, the executive director was cheerful and helpful and provided us with everything we needed to feel comfortable and at ease.

Prospective family member · 2024★★★★★

The memory care facility is horrible. The staff is inattentive, ignorant of dementia and Alzheimer behavior, uncaring and not present. The residents sit in urine/feces for a long time and develop rashes.

Memory care family member · 2023☆☆☆☆

We feel a family member has to be present every day to make sure our mother receives the care she needs. Chronic staffing shortages have resulted in her rarely receiving the level of care she is paying for.

Long-term resident's family · 2022★★☆☆☆
