Community Reviews
My dad was well taken care of.
reviewed on: 07/06/2020 by PennyThey are a very caring staff. The value is good. My dad was very well taken care of, especially after the new director took over. They have made a lot of improvements. The nursing staff is top-notch. My dad was in memory care. I always felt like they kept a good eye on my dad. They helped me with the hospice process. He was so loved there. I am an only child, A Place for Mom, really helped me with the whole process.
New Property
reviewed on: 11/13/2017 by AnonymousWhile looking for a place for my aunt, we arrived at this facility and were quickly welcomed by the staff team. The atmosphere along with their great hospitality made us feel very welcomed. The location as well is very convenient. This is a new place so they kept everything clean and orderly. The only slight drawback of the facility is that because it is fairly new, the staff is only now getting experience. But no one is pushy and the team is really connective. I’m also very pleased with the activities offered. They have painting, art day, crafts, and bingo. Events and activities would be posted on a monthly calendar. I also know that they have a beautician that started coming in as well. The other residents there are very friendly and it seems that there is a mix of all ages. The food that they offer seems ok too. My aunt has never really made any complaints and I know they have a menu that changes. So they always are getting a variety and not eating the same thing every day. I also notice that they have a bus there that may take the residents on outings or doctor’s appointments. Overall it is a great new facility.
Comfort For Mom!!
reviewed on: 09/19/2016 by AnonymousMy mother is adjusting very well. The community is always kept clean and organized. At the moment there are no complaints about the meals they are healthy and taste good. Since there are more residents starting to reside here they are beginning to offer more activities, there are also events going on all the time in which the family can participate in. It has been a good experience so far for my mother residing in the community she is safe and surrounded by great staff.
My mother's Choice
reviewed on: 02/21/2017 by AnonymousI am very happy with the care that my mom is getting at this beautiful community. The staff is nice and very helpful. This is a new community and not a lot of other residents right now. My mom does like the care here. The meals are outstanding. They do offer her to participate in activities. The community is clean and we would recommend other families to see this community for the great care and value for a loved one.
