Great service

Received the help needed to get my dad placed somewhere quickly. I would recommend to others.

Do your homework and don't be deceived...

It is cheap/er/est; the food is horrible; and it beats being homeless on the street! Don't expect safety and security because there is none; and even in cases of emergency nobody is around nor answers the mainline phone!

A great place for your loved one.

The first meeting went well. Move in date went well. Unfortunately, trying to get things attended to is somewhat difficult. My friend that I had to put in there on March 28th has still yet to receive a key to her mailbox in which I have asked several times. They were supposed to put a bar in the closet to hang her clothes and that never got done. Luckily, she didn't take many hanging clothes so I was able to use the wire shelf to hang clothes on. The food is good with generous portions. The staff are all very frie

[name removed] was exceptional throughout the entire process. We called needing a tour as we navigated an uncertain discharge plan for a loved one, and he was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful every step of the way.

We are so grateful for his professionalism, compassion, and support during an important time. Thank you, Groves and [name removed], for making this experience a positive one for

Nice doesn't always mean competent

The staff doesn't seem to receive the support needed to do their job. Although the care staff is often great, things like working elevators and medicine updates are not facilitated to allow them to do their job adequately. We had to do showers for our loved one ourself. They couldn't even facilitate that once a week. They didn't communicate with the family when diabetes issues arrived nor consistency with reviewing medications that caused us multiple problems. They use their favorite physical therapy and nursing co
