4.8 / 5.0

One thing I really like about The Residence is that they are very adequately staffed. I know that some of these places the ration between staff and residents is not where it needs to be for the residents to get the sort of care and attention they need, but that is not the case here. They take very g...

4.5 / 5.0

They have a high level of Alzheimer's care at The Village. My grandpa was doing well after he moved in. The staff were friendly and encouraged him to participate in the activities. He made some new friends during his short time at this community.

3.6 / 5.0

The bill collector just raised the prices on specific care. My loved one has had personal belongings stolen. None of the staff seem to be doing anything about this. They've not encouraged my loved one to participate in any of the activities they have available.
