This was one of the community that I was considering for my husband, and his needs. I had a lovely tour of it, and everything went well. The community looked good from what I saw. The staff was friendly, and helpful. They answered all my questions, and it was a nice experience. Unfortunately their price was out of our budget, but I did find another community that met our needs better.

I am not very happy with the care here for my father. The community wanted him to be placed in another community that had their own physical therapy on the third floor. We were informed that they could not accept his insurance. The community had to make accommodations for him to have therapy in his room and that did not work very well. My father has always been active. He started sleeping during the day and not at the night. They had concerns about his sleeping pattern. They wanted him in a locked community. He is not happy there. We might have to wait and see how his progress is going. He is not happy here and would I want him in assisted living. I am not recommending the care here at this time.

Nice appearance outside and inside. Nice open area upon entering. It was bright and cheerful, clean, no odors. The staff and residents were dressed well. Saw residents interacting with each other and staff. There are lots of activities. Bingo was going on when I was there, attended by maybe a dozen people. It is set up as small communities with their own sitting areas, dining (but also a large dining area too), access to outside court yards. The one thing that impressed me is that all residents wear a call button in case they need assistance. This is important because frequent falls is an issue. The person I interviewed with was very helpful and seemed truly interested. There was interaction between staff and residents and knowing names. Religious services are important. There is a Protestant Clergy that comes every Sunday and Bible study is Friday . I didn't get to really see the outside areas. Overall I feel it is a good facility.
