Toured this community with a client and Heather did a wonderful job. She was compassionate, thorough with her explanations, and we left with an understanding that the staff was trained to understand the needs of someone with early dementia. The advanced tech implementations and secure, single-story community were factors that are not to be overlooked.<br>As a busy professional that helps families navigate senior living options, I know this community is one of a kind.<br>Felicia,<br>Nest Senior Consulting LLC
