Frequently Asked Questions
about Melody Living Independent Living

Melody Living Independent Living offers 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Melody Living Independent Living 9.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
