All my questions were answered and the information I was given was very helpful. I also enjoyed my visit very much. Zero pressure which I really appreciate and is one of the positive points I'm looking for in a place like this.

Very kind, helpful and courteous person gave me a quick tour of the Skilled Nursing Facility/Memory care part of the Academy. She was very gracious and answered all my questions.

Drawback is cost

Rooms are nice, staff is very pleasant. I believe they provide good food , well balanced meal for the people. Draw back is cost. Very expensive and any added service they charge for.

Our family's experience

Academy Point is the perfect place for our 95yo mom. She enjoys the activities provided, socializing at meal times and having visitors. The staff is very friendly and everyone knows her name. They check in on her several times a day. Her 1BR unit is a little small but she has gotten used to it. We are happy with our choice.

A nice place

Mindset is important and I can't predict that. So be open minded and pay attention to the presentation. I left in [date removed] when [name removed] moved to the Alzheimer's ward. She died [date removed]. They were working on improving several services including food at that time. I have had no contact since then. It is a pleasant setting with caring staff . With a real effort to make it a good experience for the residents. Definitely a nice place.
