I recently toured StoryPoint in Beaverdale. The facility is beautiful and the staff was very friendly and helpful without a heavy sales pitch. They were just there to help and answer questions as I navigated the process.

I can’t praise the staff enough for their professionalism and kindness. We recently had to move our mom from a hospital setting into assisted living. The choices were not easy but Edencrest was highly recommended. I’m so glad this is where she ended up. The facility is welcoming and feels like home. The staff jumped through hoops to get a room set up in hours and even unpacked and organized boxes of stuff shipped overnight to get our mom settled. Thanks Edencrest!!
