Best small assisted living. My mother is blind and now so many people know her in the community. She has found comfort when she needed it. At 94 she can recognize people by their voices and can get around on her own mostly. There is a lot of respect for her ability. And her intelligence. I'd recommend Markham House to anyone....

We're very happy with Markham House. They do need to make an investment in a back-up power system to keep the electricity/heat running during prolonged power outages. When the power goes out, the elevator to the 2nd floor is out of commission. This is Day 3 without power at Markham House, and I am at this moment in a hotel, caring for my elderly mother.

My mother is blind and hard of hearing. Everyone has been so helpful and kind. The staff makes sure she gets to whatever activities she can enjoy. And check up on her regularly. The facility is so easy to navigate. The dining room attendants know what my mother prefers to eat and have it ready for her. She's made friends there and really loves living at Markham house. As a daughter I am delighted with everything there. It's a special place

Response from Markham House Assisted Living
November 15, 2023Thank you for letting us know how well your mom is settling into life at Markham House! We know choosing a senior living community is a big decision and we are so glad you chose us. We are delighted to hear how well the staff has treated your mom and that she is making friends. Please reach out if there is anything we can do to serve your family better.
Markham house was not a secure facility and they were worried that my loved one would wander off. Overall, the tour guide was great.
My brother was a resident at Markham House. This facility couldn't have been better. Of course, it was before Covid, but they were wonderful. I basically lived there while my brother was in his final stages. He passed away there peacefully, under their care. I couldn't be more grateful! I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

What I really liked about Markham House were the people and the peace. I would like to add a library and a more colorful gardens, with lots of bulbs. However based on my experience so far I would definitely recommend this community to other families.

I toured this community. The facility and staff were great. The population just seemed generally older and in need of more day to day assistance. Not quite what we were looking for as far as our loved one's needs, but still a nice place!
My loved one enjoyed working with the nurses. I would recommend this community to anyone. They were able to assist my loved one here. The dining room was open for the residents during some of their stay here. The communication was great between the staff and I.

When we started it was way better. The prices went up and quality went down. I would advise families to balance their expectations in what a small staff community can deliver. Most of the residents are challenged with small kind of memory loss, and it is hard to to care for residents who have lost their capabilities and memory I think the staff were exemplary when we started but the staff are under amazing pressure and it has effected the care.

We had our mother here for several months. I would NOT recommend this place under the current management. All they care about is filling rooms/money - this is evident by them not spending money on caregivers when they need to, in order to fulfill the needs of the residents; which means the caregiving we experienced was horrible in the last few months we were at Markham. We watched the facility steadily go down hill. I will say that there are a handful of staff that are caring wonderful people, but are being pushed out by the terrible management! It's such a shame. The GM may seem nice and that she cares - but beware. Stay away from Leisure Care.

I liked this place when we had the tour. I thought they were a good community. We had a good lunch with them and it came down to my mom. It was based on how they interacted with her. It would have been a good pick and I saw nothing jarring. It just wasn't the right fit for her.

I like that this community has independent living and assisted living residents that are able to interact with each other. They have a wide variety of social interaction. The community is beautiful and it is not overly large. The staff is accommodating and I have good communication with them. The food is great and they offer plenty of activities. I would recommend this community.

This community was walking distance from me, which I liked most about it. On my tour I got to see an outdoor walkway for all the residents. Everyone in the community was welcoming, even the residents had a chat with us. The staff are so helpful and informative. The community was very clean and maintained. This community was my 1st choice for my mom.

I coulnd't have found a better place for my Mom to spend the last part of her life. The staff there was very caring and treated Mom with the utmost of respect. They were very friendly and called her by name every time they saw her, even the dining room staff. She was definitely a person to them, not just a source of income. They were very accomodating and my Mom felt at home and safe instantly. And I (her daughter) knew I didn't have to worry about her there. I highly recomend the Markham House.

Really close and familiar. Across the street from the library mom and dad would go to. Busy street (Capitol Hwy. Smaller facility--nicely maintained. Some units look more like apts (have their own outside door.)
