What this means for your family

This facility is an excellent choice for active seniors looking for luxury amenities, beautiful views, and a robust social calendar. However, if your loved one requires memory care, you must investigate staffing levels personally, as recent reports indicate significant deficiencies in that specific department.

Key Review Excerpts

My parents have lived at The Tam for three years and it has been terrific for them. The staff are kind and caring, other residents are friendly, there are tons of activities, and meals are healthy and varied and often delicious.

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

Independent Living Programs mostly satisfactory. Memory Floor programs very poor due to a lack of trained staff.

Memory care family member · 2026☆☆☆☆

Adult retirement community with many activities, great facilities (library, indoor pool, exercise room, auditorium, art room, etc.). Selection of room sizes. Continuing care plan ensures whole life care.
