This was our first visit with a memory care facility. The staff was very helpful in answering our questions and anticipating the information we needed. We appreciated the serene outdoor spaces such as the patio and the herb garden.

Our experience

The meals are not diabetic friendly. However, what we like the most about the community is their friendly environment with an open door policy. Facility has a homey feeling, the residents seem to be happy and involved in the activities.

On a very positive note: Mom is a finicky eater and she has managed to gain 10 necessary pounds in a short time there. That's a huge credit to the cooking staff and the meals they
