What Families Think

Families describe Ascension Living Casa Scalabrini Village as a warm, clean campus where independent living, rehab, and skilled nursing sit side by side, letting spouses and children visit different levels of care in one visit. Reviewers repeatedly single out attentive nurses and therapists — one nurse, Victoria, is named by name in dozens of reviews — for going above and beyond during rehab stays. A handful of reports raise serious concerns about discharge timing, response speed during a medical emergency, and one especially painful account of insensitivity right after a resident's death.

I have lived here for five years. I have a beautiful apartment, very bright and cheerful. The residents are all wonderful and friendly and the food is delicious with lots of choices. There are also lots of activities, something for everyone. So If you’re a senior citizen and looking for a great independent living place, you should look into Casa Scalabrini. I know you will love it here..

Great place! However as a regular visitor once you know the parking guidelines, you shouldn't have to go through all those clicks when you check in. Makes me not want to check in every time
