My mother came to Rowntree in February 2026 for assisted living. Luckily we found this place when they were recommended by a social worker at St. Joseph’s Hospital for skilled nursing after her surgery. Sadly, we had a safety issue with her old assisted living and decided in was time to start looking for a new place for her, it was the best decision. The staff members and volunteers at Rowntree are so helpful, kind and caring. You can see they all truly love their jobs. My moms room is bright with lots of windows and they have beautiful grounds for walking, flowers, gardening and a relaxing place to sit and visit with the other residents and visitors. It doesn’t feel like an assisted living but home. The food has a variety of choices, healthy and flavorful options. Although the building may not be as flashy from the outside, it is like home/family inside. My mom is happy and I know she is safe and well taken care of. They have a 24 hr health clinic on premises the residents can go to anytime if they aren’t feeling well or have any medical needs. The first week they have a wonderful staff member show them around and help them accumulate and make new friends. I am so thankful to have found Rowntree and highly recommend it for your love ones.

Our family has had an incredible experience with the skilled nursing section of this facility. The food is wonderful and they have organized all outside appointments including transportation. The nurses are so kind and are always available to give updates. PT/OT are very effective in rehabilitation and the care team really listens and makes changes whenever needed. We have felt safe and incredibly well cared for. Highly recommend!

My aunt is in memory care. The entire staff has been nothing but AMAZING. They’re so caring and competent. I live on the east coast and it’s so reassuring that she’s receiving such good care since I can’t visit very often. Highly recommend this wonderful facility!!

We are still looking at places for a family member but I wanted to share something unique about this place I saw. I loved how The Memory care had lots of access to green space! This is the first place memory care place I’ve seen with trees, grass and room access to outside patios. As someone with a high functioning ALZ relative this has been a very difficult journey. The inside did look a little like a hospital but the residents seemed happy, well taken care of and safely able to enjoy the beautiful day outside. So many other Memory Care facilities have only had a single patio, no green space or nature for residents. Most memory care facilities have been extremely depressing to visit and often smelled like there were hygiene issues. I also toured the AL side and loved the size of the rooms. Yes this place is dated but there are more important things when finding a safe place for a loved one.

My Mom has been a resident of Rowntree Gardens for over two years. The care & service she has received has been excellent in every way. She is treated with respect, kindness and courtesy by all staff members. The communication with my Mom and our family has been great. The facility is very well maintained and was recently renovated. We are very grateful to Rowntree for providing the support and comfort my Mom needs at this stage of her life. I give Rowntree my highest recommendation.
