The staff are kind and empathetic to both residents and their families. I would not hesitate to recommend Mendelson Assisted Living for anyone’s loved one.

Long-term resident's family · 2020★★★★★

Very horrible management they lie about what they say are it's more like a nursing home. The food is very bad almost like jail food. I would not recommend this place for your loved ones do not believe anything they say.
