Review for LaurelHurst and LaurelWoods

Chose Laurelwoods because it is close to me, had amenities my mother wanted, and was smaller than her previous facility. I will recommend your service because it helped me make an important decision, saving me many, many hours researching and visiting facilities near me.

Nice and Caring Staff works

The facility is small but is conducive to quality care and environment since there are only 24 pts in Assisted Care. The staff are all extremely nice, caring towards the patients and knowledgeable. We've been very pleased with how well they have cared for my mom.

Staff was very friendly! They listened to my needs and concerns, and spent time showing me around. They were very knowledgeable and compassionate about their residents, which left me with a good feeling that my mother would be happy there.

Critical

LaurelHurst and LaurelWoods

Assisted Living might be okay... Stay away from Memory Care. They should not be credentialed for this service. I am a medical professional and what happened to us over 4 days is unforgivable. They should not be in the business of memory care.
