From the moment my mother moved in, the staff has gone above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and ease her anxiety from moving from her home after my father died. I am so grateful. Thank you so much!
The first impression was excellent. Everyone smiled and was very pleasant. We were given the tour and loved the place which made us bring my mom up to see it. She fell in love with the place and the room in which she was going to stay in. She has been there since December. We have discovered that the communication between the staff and administration was not good. We also discovered that the food was not good and limited choices regarding menu. It is clean and doesn’t smelled. Lots of light and had a few very nice sitting areas. The activity manager is fantastic. Has a lot of activities for the residence who want to participate. I did visited a couple of other facilities and did some comparisons. It was the best facility for my mom who has dementia. It does have a memory care attached which will be available when the need comes.
I would recommend it. Of the facilities in our area, this one is the best value for the money. I picked it because it is a clean, updated facility, all on one level. They have suites with doors open to a courtyard. The staff is friendly and helpful. They allow residents to have meals in their room without charging for "room service". The staff has been very good to work with me on doing the very best for my brother's complicated condition.
