I would not recommend this facility. They have failed to fulfill their own admissions agreement that relate to financial reimbursement when an individual passes away at their facility. The Executive Director does not answer phone calls, texts or emails. Note that most of the positive ratings are from previous years when the facility was in the hands of another organization.

This is a very nice facility! Residents have smiles on their faces, and the staff is attentive and accessible.<br>The halls don't smell of dirty beds or dirty residents.<br>I highly recommend this assisted living facility.

A Love For Life is a heaven send for its residents as well as their families! This is a beautiful, clean, homey, cheerful, happy and helpful place. The staff is friendly and attentive. Roann only hires the best of the best and makes sure that they are fully trained in how to safely care for the residents. The food is terrific! My grandmother loved her life at A Love For Life. Once you visit other facilities and then stop here, the only decision to be made is which A Love For Life location you would like your loved one to live in (and that's a hard decision)! Moving your loved one into an assisted living facility can be so scary and sad. Choosing A Love For Life took the fear away and added in excitement for Grandma and the rest of the family. We had a comfort level that she would be cared for respected and loved. Roann is an RN and is an advocate for those in her care. If her residents are hospitalized for some reason, she has been known to visit them in the hospital and verify their care and even assist them when hospital staff is busy. She goes above and beyond and truly has a heart for service and loves her patients as though they are family. She does not tolerate any staff that does not show the same care and compassion. I highly recommend either of the locations to anyone that might have a need for assisted living. It is worth every penny and then some!
