What this means for your family

The facility is highly regarded for its compassionate staff and supportive memory care environment. However, given past reports of delayed medical responses, we recommend asking management about their specific protocols for monitoring resident health changes and how they handle medical emergencies.

Key Review Excerpts

My mom was lost and always full of anxiety. We moved her here to the Richland Memory care and we love it!!! I cannot brag this place up enough!

Memory care family member · 2026★★★★★

The love, care, and patience of the staff is the best! She was truly cared for like family by the staff.

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

My husband was there for a year and a half. I was a hands on caregiver so wanted to be kept in the loop. There was some clashing but we worked through things. He received good care there.
