While most reviewers praise the high quality of care and smooth transitions for memory care residents, one resident noted that the food could be more home-style. The facility excels in creating a warm, family-like atmosphere for both assisted living and specialized memory care needs.”

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff that care and cook for the residents are extremely kind. Food is fantastic! The activities are tons of fun and we appreciate attending as family.”
“After much debate we decided to move my parents to boutique senior living where they can get the one on one care they both need and deserve while still having the freedom they desire.”
“The building is beautiful new construction. What Sonnet Hill calls a double is actually a large individual room only the sharing kitchenette and bathroom with one other person.”
