After visiting other communities, we feel fortunate that your community currently has a room available on the first floor, located very close to the common areas. We think this would be very convenient for my mother-in-law. Its location would make it much easier for her to leave her room for short walks, participate in activities, and access the cafeteria. We believe this convenient setting would encourage her to remain active, engaged, and socially connected.

Bad: smell of urine down one corridor Y’all are ripping up carpet and putting down laminate so smell shouldn’t’ be a problem in future.

The staff was gracious friendly and informative. And the visit was pleasant, This facility is not one we would choose at this time because we do not need an independent, assisted, remain in place community at this time. Staff told us the community is in the process of replacing flooring and make other upgrades.

Overall a positive experience

[name removed] was extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. The facilities are clean and bright, and staff are nice and respectful. My brother has a small studio apartment which is perfect for him. He has been there almost a year and seems content. He says the food is good.
