What this means for your family
This facility is an excellent choice for families seeking a vibrant, activity-rich environment for loved ones with dementia. However, while most families report great care, you should specifically inquire about the protocols for emergency call response times and nighttime staffing to ensure your loved one's safety during off-hours.

Key Review Excerpts
“My mother lives here with advanced dementia. She is talking more than she has in three years. She is engaging in crafts and eating!”
“The nursing staff is especially vigilant and responsive. The director and the business manager are always available, as well.”

The facility failed to ensure that five exit doors accessible to a resident with dementia and wandering behavior were equipped with a continuously sounding device. This lack of an audible alarm system poses a safety risk for residents who are disoriented or exhibit wandering behaviors.
