Key Review Excerpts

The Haven lives up to its name in every way, not just for the residents but also for families. Our father was blessed to receive care there from early 2019 until his recent passing at age 92. And the care he received daily was consistently kind, compassionate, and top-notch.

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

My Dad moved there 3 1/2 years ago. It initially was all you could wish for. Then private equity firm Aleris Life purchased them. The subsequent decline could not have been, in my opinion and experience, more dramatic and tragic.

Long-term resident's family · 2025☆☆☆☆

Great Assisted Living Memory Care. Great programs that are tailored with a focus for Memory Care & understanding how to relate with seniors with Alzheimer's and Dementia.
