Things to know

If your loved one needs a lot of one-on-one care or special attention this probably isn't the place for you. A lot of newer care givers with less experience. Some are amazing just not enough of them with enough experience yet

Positive

The staff member who showed us around was very friendly and knowledgeable. She seemed to know most residents by name. The units were more spacious than some other facilities and had more storage space. There is no additional onsite storage, but there's a privately-owned storage facility right across the street. Our only disappointment was with the meal service. The service was slow (considering we were "special guests") and the food was only so-so.

Safe & supportive memory care

We were able to move my Dad into a memory care apartment a few days after touring the facility. The memory care staff is friendly and supportive. They engage with the residents. Minor issue has been laundry. The laundry goes out and are returned clean but sometimes other resident clothes are included with his.
