Very poor staffing to meet ratio of residents in Memory Care. They mandate residents to care for your loved oe with an independent outside caregivers service. Their excuse was the state required. Their staff is to be trained to care for behavior symptoms which obviously comes along with dementia patients. They had on staff one caregiver for entire floor of residents many times we visited. . Their business practice on this is deceptive. Never told when signed contract. You paid their cost plus 24 hour nursing service from an outside source. This is very wrong! THEY DISCUSSED NOTHING! They ghosted my messages regarding his improvement by the psychiatrist and chose to ignore me. He has no problems where he is now and the home he is in now does not even understand the extra care they required?. This is nothing more than a cover up for "poor staffing ".

This was a good fit for our mom. She was in need of a more secure space although she was quite independent. She lived here for exactly one year before recently passing.<br>The staff treated her very well and got to know her right away. Shannon Cook the director was responsive and easy to work with.<br>Some of her favorite people were med tech, Juanita, med tech, Anthony, who was always very patient with her when she did not want her medicine. She liked interacting with med techs Kim and Andrea as well. PCA’s London, Aiesha, Maddie, Callie, Sandy, Linda, as well as Caitlin, Toby, Urelli and Millie were always quick to help and share a smile or hug when she needed a little redirecting.<br><br>The physical therapy she received from Fox was also great. They were helping to keep her strong with exercises.<br>The food provided is a great variety, and it is great to have options for the each meal, our mom very rarely complained, and she used to be a cook.My mom, Gwen’s favorite activity was the live music, anytime friends were in to perform, my mom was there to sing along and sometimes even dance.<br>I would recommend this assisted living home. I found them to be accommodating and flexible.<br>They sure have some caring staff members too, I could not list them all..🥰

Nobody who works here would help a 100 year old lady move the old bedframe and mattress out of her room. Also the lobby barely had any cups to drink cold water.
