We moved our Mom here in April 2026. Her transition was seamless, thanks to Heather and Fateema. We are so impressed and happy with all aspects of Golden Pond, especially the constant communication and support of the staff. Mom is very happy in her new home! Thank you.

I was able to participate in a community tour and the warmth and attention by all the employees created a very positive experience. The feeling of “home” and “genuineness” truly came out and I would recommend Golden Pond to anyone considering a new experience.

As a traveling band, we’ve had the opportunity to perform at Golden Pond twice over the past year, and each experience has been excellent. The staff consistently show genuine care for the community residents, and they are incredibly welcoming and show remarkable attitudes. The Activities Director, Heather Murdock, brings real passion to her work. She prioritizes events that encourage meaningful engagement with the residents, rather than ones that simply “fill the time.” We’ve been honored to be included as such entertainers for Golden Pond and have always felt valued. From our experiences, Golden Pond has done a remarkable job of prioritizing an intentional experience for both their residents and guests.
