PositiveMy mother is really enjoying it there. The facility has done a great job of communicating with me working with us and making my mother feel welcomed and enjoyed. Their price scale overall was the best when it comes to transitioning to memory care

PositiveThey contact me with occasionally help updates like UTI's that require adjustments in medications. I don't have much else to add. They let her two small dogs move in with her but I'm guessing they regret that decision.
Response from the communityThanks so much for your feedback. We appreciate you being open and honest with us.
