This place has been Great for our Dad

The Staff & facilities are great! My Dad has only participated in a couple of the activities... The food is okay. I would recommend Walnut Trace to others who are currently searching for a place.

Staff is very helpful

From our first tour, it was clear that the staff was very invested in the overall wellbeing of the residents and that helped make the decision to move our Dad to an independent living facility easier. While he still has some capacity to care for himself, the Staff and support services provided by NCR Partner "At Your Door have supported in everyway we hoped.

Great place

Walnut Trace has been wonderful. Zero issues! I would simply say you would be hard pressed to find a better facility, probably a lot of equals out there, but I doubt you could find better. Staff especially, super helpful.

Families experience

What our family likes the most about the Walnut Trace community is that our moms social experience with the other residents has been great, and also we have peace of mind not knowing she is by herself. We would recommend this community to others if they are able to afford it.
