How They Respond to Reviews

This facility actively engages with reviewer feedback.

Questions for Your Tour

  • 1I noticed that the management team is very active in responding to feedback online; how does that same level of responsiveness translate to daily communication with families regarding a resident's health or medication adjustments?
  • 2Given your focus on dementia transitions, how do you ensure that families are kept in the loop immediately if there is a change in a resident's medical status or care plan?
  • 3With 85 residents in the community, what specific protocols do you have in place to ensure consistent supervision and safety for those who may be prone to wandering?
  • 4Could you walk me through how your staff balances the need for resident independence with the high level of supervision required for memory care?
  • 5What kind of daily activities or sensory programs do you offer that help residents feel engaged and connected within the community?
  • 6In the event of a medical emergency, what is your process for coordinating care with local providers and ensuring the family is notified promptly?

Key Review Excerpts

The staff here genuinely care about the residents, treating each one with dignity, respect, and a deep understanding of their unique needs.

Memory care family member · 2024★★★★★

The staff is kind, caring and compassionate. The residents are happy and brag about where they live. The community is clean and home like and if you haven’t seen the courtyard. It has wonderful walking paths and gardens.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★★

The home has several graduated options as a resident's dementia worsens, and that's critical for care. They also have a pay-down option, after which Medicaid kicks in, and not all of the nicer homes offer this.

Memory care family member · 2015★★★★★
