Monticello St. Benedict's Community
4.0

Things are going pretty good at this community. Dad seems to like the food and they they offer daily activities. The staff take good care of him and we have good communication with them. I would recommend this community.

Golden Horizons of Sandstone
4.8

Overall we have been very pleased with the staff and their care services. We do not have first hand experience with the meals and dining service, but we feel what is being served is appropriate. It may not be as many home cooked meals as we would like but overall they food looks good. The activities are still somewhat limited. We do think the value for cost is good and we would absolutely recommend the Golden Horizon's community to other families
