Lovely facility

This is not a high skilled nursing facility, and the nursing staff are very limited on what they can do. The facility director [name removed] was excellent. She was very professional, courteous, attentive, and overall great to work with.

Inviting, family-like environment - Highly Recommend!

The facility is very home-like and inviting, much more than others we toured or did a trial run at. The staff is incredible, very responsive and personable!

Great Communication & Great Care

When looking for a memory care facility, I wanted one that would meet my mother-in-law’s needs, regardless of the level of care she required. The staff was incredibly accommodating and helpful to get her moved in and comfortable. We were able to decorate her room with her things and she always says, “I wish I was at home, but if I can’t be home, I’m really glad I’m here.” The staff has been very kind and excellent with communication concerning her care. They quickly respond to our texts and emails. I have no concer

A great place for mom or dad

[name removed], the executive Director is very responsive and does a great job managing the facility. [name removed], who is in charge of the nurses is also very responsive and does a good job. This is not a skilled nursing facility so you have to keep that in mind if your parents need that type of care.

Experience so far

It's a small community, they're very friendly and nice, but there's not a lot of activities. They list activities but they're not done many times.

Our Experience

Yes, we would recommend. Quality of care seems good and better than previous experience. However they lack organization with clothes and bed linens. They often get mixed up between residents.
