What this means for your family

Valley Pines is an excellent choice if you prioritize a clean, immaculate environment and a staff that treats residents with genuine dignity. While the reviews are overwhelmingly positive, you may want to ask about their policies regarding resident transitions or discharges to understand the context of the one negative mention of being 'kicked out'.

Key Review Excerpts

Valley Pines treats its residents like they are family. My grandmother had been healthy her entire life, it wasn't until her late 90's that she began to need minimal assistance. When given the choice to remain in her home, or move to Valley Pines, she opted for Valley Pines. She was treated with dignity, and felt truly cared for.

Grandchild of a resident · 2024★★★★★
