Would not recommend this facility

The rating should be zero. The memory care facility should be condemned. It was horrible, worse staff ever and they couldn't care less. I wish I never brought my mother there.

If your loved one falls or has reoccurring UTI's

If your loved one falls or has reoccurring UTI's do not send them here. The staff in blue are very caring but are understaffed and there is a high turnover. Some of the directors don't follow through and seem to just be there for a paycheck, not for the care of your loved one.

I'm satisfied.

My mom is level 2 dementia and we had a mishappening, I rang the bell several times for help and after 25 minutes I went in search of a nurse after I found one it took another 10 minutes for them to come to her room. If this had been something more serious I can't even imagine what would have happened to my mother

Fantastic facility

5's across the board. Coming up on 2 years this August, and I have not had one complaint. The food is good. The entertainment director is fantastic. There is lots to do and they go out on trips to different places regularly. The staff is attentive without being intrusive. It is very clean. They clean the rooms a lot. It always smells good. The staff and front desk are super friendly. Everyone is helpful with a smile. There is a real sense of community.
