They don't follow through with requests

I moved my loved one in March 2026. At that time she was not given a mailbox key. I have continuously asked for one. In the beginning I was told they would have one made. A couple of weeks ago, the director said that even the master key was not there and I would need to take my loved one to the local post office to get one made but she would see if she could do it on my loved ones behalf. Six and a half months later there is still no key. When she moved in they were supposed to put a rod in the closet to hang her c…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My friend is at The Groves. They have independent living apartments, assisted living, and a nursing home, and he's in the independent living apartments. It had everything that he needed. They have a couple of meals a day. They have light housekeeping, and it's close to me. It marked off all the checks that he needs. They have a swimming pool, a little gym, a library, Bible study, and washers and dryers. They serve breakfast and lunch. Everything is lovely. Upkeep, from what I've seen so far, is good.…

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. His expertise in nursing homes, assisted living, and skilled care made the process feel much less overwhelming. 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 …
