Would recommend

Care givers in memory care were attentive and responsive to family needs. The elevator could be improved. The caregivers were really good with him and great to work with while he was there.

Crescendo Senior Living Assisted Living and Memory Care

I would say mostly 5 across the board. Maybe a 4 for Admistrative staff. The facility and staff are great and my father-in-law has settled in really well. We would definitely recommend Crescendo Senior Living Assisted Living and Memory Care to other families based on the experience.

Short Stay at Crescendo

I would recommend Crescendo. The only issue we had was the cost for one week & a small hiccup in the medication dispense

Crescendo Senior Living Assisted Living and Memory Care

Crescendo has been very accommodating with my mother especially with her behaviors due to dementia. The staff is incredibly patient and kind. I feel like she is seen by them as a person rather than just a resident

Response from the community

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kind words. It means so much to know that your mother feels seen, valued, and cared for here. Our team truly loves getting to know each resident as the wonderful individual they are, and we are grateful that you trust us to walk alongside your family on this journey.
