Our family's experience

So far the staff in the dementia unit are very attentive, the place is very clean, the room a good size and she loves the food here. The quality of care seems excellent. They have plenty of activities to keep her busy. They test her cognition every 30 days. I have had some issues with them not calling back the first few weeks and they were saying they never got the message but that seems resolved now. I will let you know if that changes. I will give them a 5 now for my limited time I have been back. She says she is very happy here and they seem like family. My only concern is for how expensive it can get if her levels of care go too high. She is at a Level 2 now out of 5 at [Amount Removed] a month.

We think the staff is great. They really know our mom.

It's clean and her personal room is clean and neat as well. Nurses are super.

Caring care.

The staff was fantastic with my mother. From the time she got there to the time of her passing. Staff individually knew her and cared for her well. She always looked presentable. When she passed caregivers, stopped us in the hall. And said something kind about her... Which really let us know that they truly knew her. Staff knows my dad very well. The only complaint my dad has is, he doesn't quite enjoy the food.
