I would highly recommend this community. For the money and cost they are the best community around this area for your loved ones. They have activities like games, movie night, church services and more for the residents.
My brother did not have a good experience in his stay at this community. They had him in one room when he moved in and then they changed his room the next day. When I inquired as to why they said they try to have them with a roommate they are compatible with. When they moved him into the new room he did not get along with his roommate and due to issues with him and the staff not assisting he is no longer living at this community.
My loved one is currently a resident at Spring Park Assisted Living and Memory Care. Overall, her experience at this facility has been good. I like Spring Park. All of the staff are friendly and accommodating. They know the residents by name. I haven't had any issues with poor communication. The cleanliness and quality of care are good. The value for cost is good. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.
