Really enjoy working with the staff. We have a family member in Assisted Living but are struggling with what to do next as she shows signs of mid-stage dementia. Time to move her or too soon? Staff are so patient with her and us ... Very professional and knowledgable.
My parents have adjusted well to assisted living and like the staff. The place isn't perfect but I feel as if my parents are in good care.
The community is just great. They have lots of activities and posted pictures on their Facebook page so we can see them enjoy the activities. They are starting to get folks out of the community and are doing driving trips around town. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.
