Key Review Excerpts

My Dad Charlie Brown has been there almost three years. He loves the staff, food, and his apartment. The staff were excellent in the treatment of her and our whole family at the time.

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

If your loved one has dementia do not take them to their memory care unit. They apparently don't really understand what dementia is and it is beyond me why they added a memory care unit.

Memory care family member · 2019☆☆☆☆

Absolutely horrible place. The front desk and the executive director are very unprofessional and uncaring. Not to mention in order to pass a state inspection they put fake names on the MANY empty rooms doors to make it look they had more residents than they have which is illegal.
