Overall would recommend

St. Martins is great. My mom is adjusting very well. She absolutely loves the activities that are planned everyday. The staff is warm and friendly. My only feedback for St. Martins is the grounds could be kept better. It is a beautiful place but the grounds need some work.

Great Respite Care

I placed my mom here for respite care and received great service. She was provided great care by the staff. She has dementia and the staff were skilled with dealing with dementia patients. Thanks to [name removed] and her staff for making her stay enjoyable.

Would recommend with great staff

So far we have had a very good experience with St. Martins in the Pines. The staff are wonderful and very friendly, and you can tell they really take good care of our loved ones. The facility itself is very nice and always well kept. The residents not only have plenty of opportunities to socialize in the memory care side but they also can socialize with the residents on the assisted living side. Every month they have an activity schedule it is always shows a really good amount. The meals are a hit or miss, it is ha

Excellent facility for someone that needs memory care

They have been very helpful at this community. They have been very responsive. My mother adapted very well and I did not think that she was going to adapt well. Given my mothers situation this is a good place for her to be. They are very caring and the staff are genuinely concerned about the residents.
