What this means for your family

This facility is an excellent choice for seniors seeking a highly social environment with exceptional activity programming. However, because there are documented instances of neglect and slow response times during staffing shortages, you should specifically ask for a breakdown of caregiver-to-resident ratios during night and weekend shifts.

The team was incredibly thorough in getting to know her and made us feel truly special with thoughtful touches like a personalized welcome sign, follow-up video messages, and a no-pressure approach.

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

I was at my breaking point with my dad. I have been caring for him for 3 years and had no idea what i was doing. I work by this place so stopped by on my way home and was expecting the smell of a nursing home but was shocked that it was a clean smell.

Caregiver/Local resident · 2024★★★★★

The problem starts when your loved one needs assistance. The caregiver team is comprised of incompetent personnel with zero empathy.
