It is a beautiful facility very new especially the fourth floor, which is brand new. There are a lot of activities for active people only a few activities for those who have mobility issues.

5 on all. However, this may not be quite the right fit for someone who has more advanced skilled nursing needs. That being said, the visiting nurse was absolutely great — so helpful, attentive, and caring throughout the stay. The food was also excellent. I think [name removed] may have even put on a few pounds during his two-week stay! Overall, we had a very positive experience and truly appreciated the kindness of the staff.

Meals and dining is a 3 but only based on my lunch on move-in day. They make a good effort to include memory care residents with asst living folks. Van outings are good-- even a trip to Legal Seafood for lunch. Room size bigger, companion suite rent is lower. Costs configured daily thus more transparency. Smile App allows ongoing checking in to see loved one participating in activities. Yes, I would recommend it. For me it was a choice among three: Adelaide, Sunrise, Rogerson. Adelaide lively but about [Amount Rem

Between rock and a hard place with decision as to whether spouse can be at home or needs assisted living with full time aide. Tour and information very helpful and informative and person we met with knowledgeable and lovely. Cost of care so very expensive with all the help he needs and that weighs heavily on me, as well as how he would adjust/accept living apart fr me as I am still healthy and not ready for assisted living.

Critical

2024 Experience

All the staff were well meaning and friendly. Not enough people on the memory care floor on many occasions. So waiting for meals, help with a neighbor, etc. Lots and lots of turnover at management level. Unstable oversight.
