What this means for your family

This facility is an excellent choice for seniors seeking a socially active lifestyle with beautiful outdoor spaces and great dining. However, if your loved one has high medical complexity, you must investigate their medication administration protocols and staff responsiveness to call lights, as multiple families have reported failures in these critical areas.

Key Review Excerpts

This is a vibrant and active community, but even more than that it is a warm, loving, supportive and accepting community. Our son, who I worried wouldn't fit in, is thriving and becoming more independent by the day.

Memory care family member · 2024★★★★★

I have lived in Fredericka Manor for 3 years now and really enjoy all the activities. I love the variety of exercise classes and now we have a walking group. I also thoroughly enjoy all the entertainment that is hired for us each month, from music groups, singing, etc.

Long-term resident · 2024★★★★★

My mother was left without power one night. She was afraid, being in complete darkness, and activated her emergency Pendant, with no response from staff.
