Unstable company! poorly managed with high staff and management turnover. I don't recommend this place. They change staff and management every other month.I moved my parents to a different facility and it was the best thing we could've done.

Great facility. Very Clean and great leadership. The Administrator provided me with a tour. He was familiar with the family members and residents of the community. In fact, he gave me a tour on the weekend. I was glad he was present. Without hesitation, I would recommend this facility to friends and family.

My Mom has had good days and bad days based on who the aids are for any particular day. Some are pleasant and helpful and some have told her they are not there to help and they don’t. The manager , Heather, has so far been good to communicate with me when I call. I just wish they all worked better together and did more training for their aids. I think this may be one of the better Assisted Living places in Montgomery. I am praying they want to be and will seek to improve. My Mom is doing fine there most days.
