Key Review Excerpts

We looked at several assisted living facilities and are very happy that we chose McDowell Village for our mother. Executive staff members are responsive and caring, there are many activities for residents, there's a lovely dining room and good food, onsite physical therapy is available billed through Medicare, and onsite visiting primary and specialist care is available and billed through Medicare.

Family member of a resident · 2026★★★★★

McDowell Village offers a wide array of activities and amenities but it is the staff that helped my mom make it her "home" for 11 years.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The staff and environment were the reason we chose this senior living facility because I knew mom would be happier there than anywhere else.
