What makes this assisted living/memory care facility truly special is the family atmosphere. The staff, residents, and families all treat each other with so much love, kindness, and respect. It never feels like “just a job” here. Everyone genuinely cares about one another and works together like one big family.<br>The staff go above and beyond every day to make residents feel safe, comfortable, heard, and loved. You can tell they build real relationships with the residents, and that kind of compassion is hard to find. There is always laughter, support, and a warm welcoming feeling throughout the building.<br>Nothing brings you peace of mind like knowing your loved ones are surrounded by people who truly care for them like their own family members. I highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a place filled with compassion, patience, and genuine heart.

Strive is a very clean, safe and friendly home. It even has a lovely garden where one can sit, relax and enjoy the plants and flowers. The staff is exceptionally kind and took wonderful care of my sister.

I brought my parents earlier this year and I can only say that everyone that works here actually wants to work and help. I'm very grateful to Strive for being a safe place for my parents to live as moving them was not easy. They have slowly come around to accepting their new life and it's been a great experience but I'm so glad we decided to go here
