  • Nice staff but overworked.

    The staff is nice but are overworked, they aren't able to keep up with everything but they are doing best they can to attend to the residents, however the aids were very good to our loved one. The food served at this community was fine. The layout was okay, and the rooms were about adequate in size.

  • Do not place loved one there

    Do not put your loved one there unless you are staying with them around the clock. There are not enough CNAs to care for the residents. My loved one was left sitting in a chair all day long, not changed or cared for. If I asked the staff to do anything , it was a hateful response or they said "you will have to wait your turn". They did have great activities offered for mobile residents. I would not recommend this place to anyone under any circumstances.

  • Memory Care team is great

    My father started out in assisted living but moved to memory care after a week. Overall I am pleased except for the housekeeping in memory care. I have been told there will be dedicated full time staff for this unit soon. I know memory care is expensive and my father currently shares a room but the space is really small in my opinion for how much pay per month. I hope to move him to a private room when one is available. I am pleased with the staff and feel have good communication. I would like to have had more spaces outside his room to visit but that is limited in this memory care area. I would advice if your family member needs physical therapy check your insurance first - the PT that is offered by the Five Star Community on site was not in network and I did not realize it and got stuck with a large bill. I found another company that comes to this community that is in network and my dad is just as happy. In general my dad’s health is much better because he is getting his meds on time and eating 3 times a day - all of which he was forgetting at home by himself.
