LiveWell is truly an exceptional memory care community. Their facility is state-of-the-art, thoughtfully designed to be both supportive and welcoming, while still feeling warm and comfortable for residents. What really stands out is the staff. They are compassionate, attentive, and clearly dedicated to providing the highest level of care. You can tell they genuinely care about the people they serve and go above and beyond every day. LiveWell offers so much more than traditional care, with long-term support as well as educational and rehabilitation programs for both residents and families. If you ever have to make the difficult decision of placing a loved one somewhere, this is absolutely the place you would want them to be.

My husband was here for 5 months before he passed. He was in the Memory Care Unit. He had a TBI with frontal temporal bleeding. This was the best place for him. The staff, Laura, Rita, and Grace as nurses went above and beyond beyond with their concern for my husband and myself. This was back in 2017.

I am so at ease that my mom laure is a resident at live well. Prior to her admission she attended the Alzheimer's program we took her 3 times a week she never had a piano lesson in her life it was amazing how she would sit in front of the piano and play songs and sing. When her dementia progressed so glad she was admitted there she is always. Comfortable

Years ago my family and I had my mom attend the day program at Livewell. It was awesome, especially the music which my mother loved playing the piano there. She also enjoyed the meals. We were met with a wonderful caring staff, learned a lot about caring for someone with dementia, and was able to keep her home. Then two years ago during the pandemic my mom's dementia worsened making it hard to take care of her and keep her at home She was on the waiting list at Livewell and I called them for help. They sent Corrin Campbell to the house for a visit and we were able to plan to transition her into skilled nursing. It was a very stressful time, but they helped us make a move from home to Livewell with the support of Shazia Chaudhry. Now, mom is living in a safe, caring, and professional atmosphere where she feels loved. Linda Desantis 💜

I have no doubt that my grandmother, Maria Cutler, received the best care in the year she lived at Live Well. I heard so many incredible stories about her and could tell from the way the staff spoke that that they genuinely care about the residents. The staff and nurses were incredibly kind and empathetic when I stayed with her during her last few days. They truly felt like an extension of our family and for that I will be forever grateful. Glenda, Melody, Melanie, and Shawna all get a special shout out because they really touched me during my visit and I will never forget them.
