Tender Loving Care

The ratio of resident in the Memory Care units to caregiver is excellent. All needs are attended to quickly and efficiently with care and respect for the resident. Meal portions are balanced without being overwhelming. The rooms are well appointed and are sized to accommodate personal touches and furnishings.

Our family's experience

The staff is very friendly, attentive and caring. The facility is very clean. Room size and location is ideal for ma's needs. Meals are good. Lots of opportunity for socialization and activities. She seems to be very happy and we are relieved to know she is well cared for. Monthly price is high, but well worth it, especially since I've been able to secure additional funding for her through the VA.

Very nice facility, very nice staff. This was our last tour after touring several other facilities. I guess you can say the best was saved for last. We came in at the right time and were able to acquire the perfect accommodation, Which will make a huge difference for the transition. The staff has been very accommodating and that means so much! Great location for us also! Highly recommend!
