PositiveOverall would recommend
The staff is very caring we have taken my mom out on a couple of vacations and she had a hospital stay. They called and checked on her. When she was ready to go back I called the RN and she was on top of everything and very willing to get everything mom needed together for us to leave for vacation the next morning. I have no complaints about Story point or the faculty. She made new friends right away. Her apartment is big enough for her and more items than she needs, but that's not the facilities fault.

PositiveReview for Edencrest at The Tuscany
The facility is very clean, food good, and staff very caring and responsive. The room is the size of a studio apartment with onsuite bathroom . Any questions I had were handled right away.
★★★★★
PositiveVery pleasant environment. People were friendly. Residents were eager to show what they do and welcomed us. [name removed] explained the rooms and how the schedule runs. We were able to walk with one of the residents and enjoyed her sweet smile.

PositiveEdencrest Review
Weekend staff were not so good, they were all contracted staff. They were very expensive and charged me for 15 days after she died. This is not a place I would consider if I need it.

★★★★★
PositiveGreat place for what my dad needs right now. It's comforting to know he can age in place in the same facility
there are many activities offered, my dad has not taken part in them. The key fobs they use are hard for my dad, he is used to a regular key and lock. He struggles even after 6 weeks or more of being there. We chose Edencrest for Location - close to my brother and me. Cost- they ran a special price for the first 12 months.
