This is my first experience with assisted living as far as Alzheimers and from the various places I visited, this is by far the best place I saw, even halfway done you could see it was better. They have been great, there's only 9 patients on that wing right now, they're doing a good job. There's some issues, but i think that's with any facility, but they address it, they're very responsive and fix them quickly. They have been really wonderful to work with. I know my mother, when we took her there she wasn't doing anything but sitting in a chair watching tv, she hadn't taken a shower in 10 years (she was getting sponge baths) and they've gotten her in the shower; she has a walker but wouldn't use it and now she's walking around with it, she loves the food, shes a good cook so thats a big statement for her to make, they've got them doing puzzles and crafts which she never does, shes sort of like the den mother keeping them all together. It's been a big turn around for her and such an improvement in her quality of life. I also like that the staff wears white, it gives it more of a professional feel so you know who the staff is because a lot of times they're just wearing regular clothes with name tags so you're not sure who works there.

Our overall experience has been a 5 across the board. They all have been very welcoming and helpful during mom's transition to assisted living. The food selections have been great to see because mom is getting the proper nutrition she needs. The staff did a great job getting mom evaluated for physical therapy which has made a big difference in her quality of life.

The staff is very caring and I think this is a great place for your loved one. The food is good and the community has restaurants close by if you want something different. I would recommend this community to others.
