Good for Alzheimer's, not so great for lewy body dementia
reviewed on: 03/30/2021 by anonymousThe staff here are nice and friendly. I think communication needs to be improved, all the communication was always with activities or on covid, but it was not separated so we did not know what was going on on the memory care side. Our experience has been gated with covid because they did have an outbreak so I could not get a good picture of what was going on. My dad has Lewy body dementia, so if your loved one has that I would not recommend them for individuals who have that since it is so different than Alzheimer's.
Everything We Were Looking For!
reviewed on: 09/24/2013 by CarolMy mom's only been there 3 days but as far as I know everything is going alright. Every time I've been there it looks good - clean. She hasn't said anything about the cleanliness and she would have if it wasn't good. She seems happy with them. From talking to her, morning and evening, she's been going to exercise classes and they have bible study. It seems like everything is just what she needed and wanted. This was the first place she went to but she really liked it so we didn't even go anywhere else.
my mom happy and healthy
reviewed on: 12/17/2020 by anonymousThey take good care of the facility and it is always clean, the food is good we enjoyed thanksgiving dinner there a year ago. They work hard to address any issues that we have had. I would recommend this community to others.
Nice People!
reviewed on: 07/30/2013 by JanetThey are really good. They have been quite nice to work with. My mom is a big bingo player so she likes the bingo and she loves the food. They are very responsive and attentive - just the nicest people! They make you feel welcome. They have a nurse who is there 24/7 so they are able to administer medications. They've been great.
