My father lived there for nearly 2.5 years, and those days were - at worst - as normal as can be expected when you've got a parent in a memory care unit, and - at best - very special indeed. So much of this is due to the excellent care he received from the staff, and pretty much all of the rest is the facility and grounds itself. We're obviously sad he's no longer with us, but these past years have been so much easier on us all due to the home he had there.

They took great care of my mother. They kept her feed, clean, washed, etc. I did not have worries about her while she was there. I must say though that she fell 10-15 times while there and I was required to hire a private pay home health aide while she was in BGSR.
