When we toured Symphony the gal who is in charge was very nice and did a good job answering all of our questions and she was very personable. The community at the time was not opened yet so it had this new smell to it and everything was just unbelievable. All the furnishings were new, it was well decorated and very open and bright feeling. Our loved one has a companion suite which they like and it financial works out best for us. The dining service is good, but the quality of the meals could use a little improvement, they are not the best.

we picked them because someone else he knew lived here. We liked it also because it is smaller so it is more personalized attention, everyone knows his name. It is a nice friendly christian organization. The manager has been easy to work with and super accommodating and we appreciate that. We love all of the activities provided and It is extremely clean.

I'm glad we chose it. It has helped our family, and I'm well pleased overall.

It's friendly. Overall it's a really good place. Sometimes it depends on who's working the shift. But most of the time it's excellent. It's nice and clean. They have some events sometimes, although that's limited due to Covid. They used to have a Wine Wednesday. I just make sure I go and visit her every day. Overall it's a good place. It's helped her, and it's helped us.

The community is very caring and loving. The community is open to making changes to assist your loved one, such as adding more activities and additional training for the aides. The service of the food in the memory care, could be improved. Some of the activities for memory care include walks around the community, swimming, and arts and crafts for the residents.

Moderate nothing special

The outside of the building is being let go. I am not sure why but it seems like it is rundown and needs a good cleaning or painting. Inside is not updated but it seems to be kept clean. My biggest concern was the inside and the help is a lot better and they are more kind. They are short of staff and we are waiting to see a change in that. They keep the resident busy with many activities.

Family Owned

When looking for a place for your parents to be securely taken care of, this is the place. Within several days of moving my parents in, I met the owner of the facility, yes the owner! This was on top of the caring people who work there. Everyone wants to make sure your family members are getting the care they deserve. The nurses, caretakers, dining staff, front office, everyone has made us feel like we are at home. It is definitely a different feeling to feel you are part of a family and not just a resident. This place does this for my parents and me. I needed help with all my parents needs and very reasonable. You will not find another place like this one! I have search personally all of Franklin and Spring Hill, this is one of the best place to be. They have been a blessing in our family lives and have truly reduce the stress I felt every day!

We were in a panic and Our care finder set up a last minute tour which the staff arranged for me to take seamlessly…the facility is beautiful…the staff had a beautiful rapport with all the residents we passed…and by the next morning my husband and I had decided on Liana for my mother…the staff literally bent over backwards to make the admission happen that very afternoon …. It has been less than 24 hours and the ease of being a led to talk with the staff has been phenomenal…… Thank you, Brenda
