What this means for your family

This facility is an excellent choice for families seeking a small, intimate, and highly communicative environment where the owner is personally involved. The staff's dedication to dignity and personalized care is their greatest asset. However, you should proactively ask about their current protocols for managing infectious disease outbreaks and fall prevention, given the specific concerns raised in past reviews.

Key Review Excerpts

The staff danced with her, fed her very well, and otherwise were attentive to her needs. While she was there, Joy became my my mother's home, and the staff and other residents were her friends.

Dementia care family member · 2024☆☆☆☆

From the time my Mom moved in we recieved constant updates and pics of her. They always have celebrations and daily activities! The food always smelled so good i wanted to stay and eat!

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

The owner has been very kind, gracious and worked with us regarding finances. He accepted a friend of mine who required full time care around the clock and is totally dependent for personal care.
