So far in the time that I have been here, I tink it is a great place. I am pleased with everything and I feel very comfortable here, I have no complaints.
They were under staffed but part of that was due to covid. They do a good job but only offer certain services. There was very little enrichment, but again due to covid. It is on the expensive side. The staff are wonderful, caring, friendly and always available. The facility itself is lovely- quiet location, beautiful gardens. Their focus seems to be more on memory care. They have less services for people with physical compromises. They really are doing really hard work in a difficult situation.
The director is amazing and helps with anything needed and helps quickly resolve any issues that may arise. The marketing director is outgoing and friendly and will help with anything needed. The activities director goes above and beyond to come up with fun and unique activities and tries to pull people in. They do struggle in the kitchen. The food is not what it should be at times. They are having staffing issues (like so many businesses at this time) mainly with servers and the people who clean the rooms. The directors often have to pitch in and help with these things. Overall, is has been a great choice for my mother and a place where the residents look out for each other.
