My family has had a wonderful experience with South High Senior Assisted Living. The staff truly cares for the residents as if they were members of their own family. You can tell that everything they do is focused on the residents and their well-being, not just running a business.<br>My dad genuinely enjoys his time there and has built great relationships. From the moment you walk through the doors, the community feels warm, welcoming, and homey rather than institutional.<br>The improvement in my dad's health and overall happiness over the past year has been incredible, and we are so grateful for the compassionate care he receives every day. I highly recommend South High Senior Living to anyone looking for a place where their loved one will be treated with dignity, respect, and genuine compassion

Now that my dad has died.<br>Some staff that was there was great.<br>They didn't try to sneak his meds in pudding or drink. He pushed a nurse older nurse. Got sent out was gone for over a month then told us he couldn't come back. Stole over 10,000 bucks from us since he lived there not even a month<br>Move in fees. First month first week paid.<br>Sent another check he was already out.<br><br>They could have been honest but nope .<br>Lied<br>Do as you wish. Beware they don't know how to handle dementia patients. If they did they know not to approach from behind.<br><br>Replying to said owner<br><br>Paper trail is proof enough. I have my rating where it is for that reason. It's wild you say that never happens to someone. Basically calling the person a lier. I pay a months rent he not there you sent him off to parkwest. He was at park west almost a month. He turns to get released and in turn u all say he can't come back. Not once tell me before making that payment just come get his stuff.<br>Don't pay this months rent would have been nicer. And as a family we wouldn't be out money.<br>Paper trail. And everything even medical papers have been processed through a court system on my father. So it exists<br>Have a blessed day

With my heartfelt gratitude, I highly recommend South High Senior Living. They cared for my 94yo mother in memory care, for her last 5 months.<br>The facility is always clean, has very good food, and takes really good care of its residents.<br>While living there, mom presented with a variety of challenges. The staff, every one of them, was supportive, respectful, and loving. They were dedicated and creative with ways to help reduce mom's fears. When hospice services were brought in, all caregivers coordinated to keep mom comfortable.
