Wonderful staff!

This place has been great. The first guy that came in was wonderful. He was very supportive to mom. We did have a problem with one of the aides, but that was quickly resolved. They handled it in a professional way. I will be using them again if we ever need help again. I would also recommend them.

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.

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.

A Fantastic Job

I think what they do really well is they listen to the family to try and determine what the best needs are for the individual. The speak with the resident as well so they get their perspective too. They seem to do a good job of integrating the needs of both in providing a care and communication plan. They seem to do a really good job at keeping you abreast with anything you should know about your loved one.
