Excellent place.

I was here for about a month when I had to return to hospital for a new condition. Everyone is incredibly nice and I truly feel that they cared about my wellbeing and needs. Also my wants I can not day enough good about this place. I will be returning here for care when I leave the hospital again. The food program has a large variety and different options for meals. I didn't find anything bed about the dining at all. And for the most part, if I did ot care for the menu options , other items where available.

Would highly recommend

I would rate 5s on all. Mom is loving it there and is so involved! She's VP of the resident association, assistant librarian, and helps with tours and events. She is thriving and has made so many friends. It's been the best decision!

an unexpected blessing

My Mom is really thriving there after my father's death. She has made lots of friends and is very active in social groups and activities, and we are a bit surprised by that. I think socialization is encouraged by both the staff and the layout of the facility, and the residents are very friendly and welcoming.

Review for The Craig Senior Living, A Full Service Retirement Campus

I have already recommended the Craig to several people. My in-laws like it there. They wish the food was a little more like home made but it would not be as healthy
