What this means for your family

This facility is highly regarded for its stable, long-term staff and its beautiful, well-maintained memory care environment. However, because of a very serious allegation regarding hygiene and neglect, families should conduct an unannounced visit and specifically ask staff about their protocols for incontinence care and monitoring.

The staff here has been around for years, so turnover is super low, and you can really feel that stability.

From day one, the Property Manager, Mel, was there from start to finish, making sure my mother’s transition was as seamless as possible.
