Memory Care
My mother had a personal connection because they visited people there before my father died. It sometimes sparks memories for her.
I would say that this is a nice community and they take good care of my loved one. I would recommend this community for you or your loved one. The staff are great and some of them are exceptionally good and some of them are not so friendly. The tour was great and they gave me all the information I needed for this community.
I was disappointed in the care my loved one received during their short stay. My loved one was supposed to be getting bathed twice a week and the community was supposed to be doing the laundry for my loved one. I ended up having to ask for this to be done. The community wasn't able to accommodate the dietary restrictions for my loved one. They would end up giving my loved one sandwiches to eat.
