My mom lived the independent living apartments at Schowalter Villa before needing nursing home care. Throughout the 8 years she lived here, she received wonderful care & support! We never had any issue that was not taken care of promptly & with kindness. We could not have asked for a more caring group of people to take care of her/us. I would highly recommend this place!

My grandmother (now 96) has lived in a variety of neighborhoods here for many years, and I have been super impressed. The food is A++ from freshly cooked hot breakfast to good snacks to a wide variety of choices at each meal. Each neighborhood focused on a special type of residents so that residents can support one another and the staff can provide expert care. I have never seen such caring staff or good food at a place like this ever. There are lots of activities from kids coming in to men’s choir practice and performance. The activities staff know all the residents and their relatives. The place has always been super clean and the degree of respect afforded to residences is amazing. Each room is custom decorated with items for each resident. This place really seems to be run with God in mind and with a real focus on the residents. God bless all of you for the amazing service you have provided to our family.

My mom's room is always dirty, she got infrequent baths, she never liked the food, the staff was rude

I picked Showalter Villa for my husband because they advertise expertise in memory care. My experience was they did not provide an environment that was good for a severely memory impaired resident. Something in the environment was frightening to my husband and he was frequently upset and afraid. Communication was average at best. Many times my calls were not returned. Staff did not report behavior problems with my husband even after I asked them to do so. Weekends they seem to be understaffed or the staff was inexperienced. I don't know how much of this is COVID related but at a price of about $9500 per month I expected more. The day I picked up my husband’s possessions and saw Showalter Villa in my rear view mirror was a good day.
