Two stars because my mom enjoyed living here from 2017 to January of 2026. She enjoyed her neighbors and some of the staff. However, it took the 3 months for them to return mom’s $92,000 deposit when she switched from independent living to assisted living and then they deposited it in the wrong account. I was extremely clear with routing and account numbers. Some of the staff are phenomenal - Ascend PT is great (Andy and Christina) Elizabeth is great, but some staff are difficult or impossible to deal with. Watch your billing. Approach with caution. It’s insanely expensive, but also takes a lot of upkeep. If I had it to do over again, would certainly look elsewhere.

My 85 yr old father stayed at St Therese for 4 days as he had hand surgery and couldn’t use a walker. We had a horrible experience and decided to break him out of there and care for him ourselves. Many times he pressed the red button for assistance to the bathroom and it took 15-20 minutes. We witnessed this ourselves and assisted him.<br>My mom even slept overnight as she didn’t trust the care It was degrading for him to not make it to the bathroom. In addition, one night he was handled very roughly during bathroom assistance and was traumatized when we returned in the morning. Also, the social worker treated us with disrespect when voicing our concerns by acting angry. The physical therapist talked in front of my dad showing no compassion stating his cognitive score was not good and we had to explain it was due to fact that his blood pressure was extremely low due to his heart medication. (When she evaluated him he was drowsy). They have no compassion for the elderly. Lastly, they forgot his dinner along with 3 other rooms. I had to go to the kitchen to get him some food leftovers. We encountered a couple of good nurses there but majority were terrible. I don’t recommend anyone to take there loved one there.

I don’t recommend the St. Therese Transitional Care Facility! My 85-year-old father was in the transitional care facility for 4 days after a hospital stay due to a fall. His experience at St. Therese was so bad, that at one point we just packed up his belongings and moved him out. The worst thing that happened to him is that a night employee (who was late in responding to his call button), was so physically rough with him that he was shell-shocked for the remainder of the stay. This happened the first night that he was there. After that, my 86-year-old mother felt like she needed to sleep there to make sure that it didn’t happen again. In addition to this, there were several times that the call button response times exceeded 15-20 minutes. That’s tough when you’re 85 years old and on diuretics. Finally, most of the staff that interacted with us were unfriendly. Except for a couple of exceptions, we really didn’t see any smiles.
