Mom Likes He Room

The community is new and pretty lovely with a beautiful surrounding. My mom has a nice view from her room. They staff have always been nice at the times I've been there and my son has good rapport with them. They encourage activities. The meals are starting to be different and the dining room isn't as fancy now. They seemed understaffed or need more help. I also hope they will get a better Elder Care Bus arrangements with assistance for the residents who take outings. Overall, I am comfortable with my mom being here and no one has been mean to my mom.

Nice looking place, but just wasn't right

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. While this was a size I though was suited for my loved, there were still hallways that would have made him uncomfortable. It just wasn't somewhere I thought suited my loved one's personality.

Homey Environment

I guess overall it is not an institutional environment, they have it set up more like a lodge. My dad has adapted well to it and because of that we are high on the place. They treat it like a family atmosphere and it's less like a hospital than some of the other places we looked at.
