The Perfect Size at the Perfect Price
reviewed on: 09/14/2015 by LKBMy 78 y.o. mother has been dealing with cancer for the last several months and needed more care than I could provide for her myself. Pickersgill turned out to be the best solution for our family. The days mom feels well, there are plenty of activities to keep her engaged, and the days she doesn't, I know she can rest in her room and get all the care she needs. The staff are all very friendly, and there is a real effort to keep the residents socially active. The size was perfect - we didn't need a large "country club" vibe, yet it's a big enough place that they offer all the medical care we required. Bonus points for having things like a beauty salon and rehab facility on site! I definitely feel like my mother's quality of life has been greatly improved since moving to Pickersgill.
Excellent Retirement Community!
reviewed on: 08/21/2015 by AnonymousWe visited a lot of assisted living communities in the area and found Pickersgill Retirement Community to be the best by far! We immediately felt the environment to be a safe place for our grandmother. Everyone there makes it a point to be kind and compassionate to all the residents. The rooms and common areas are clean and comfortable. We can't say enough good things about Pickersgill.
Well kept and pleasant
reviewed on: 04/03/2014 by LisaSome communities are well kept secrets when it comes to good care and pricing. Pickersgill Retirement Community is one of those communities where they go above & beyond to care for their residents. They also have interesting and engaging activities that are meaningful and fun. During my visit, I saw happy residents treated with kindness & respect.
They've Been Absolutely Great So Far

This is a wonderful place B...
reviewed on: 08/09/2013 by A Place For Mom CustomerThis is a wonderful place BUT with the little care my mother needs they do not offer respite. You have to be self sufficient.
