UPDATE JUNE 2026<br>Moved in December 2025<br>First impression is typically pretty good 🔹 Clearly, as my 1st review indicates.<br>Here we are - 6 mos later and I'd like to add, please do your research when placing a loved one to b cared for. I've learned more than I ever wanted to know and will do a detailed update over the next week or so .. just wanted to 'edit' my initial 'Glorious' Review and state the obvious when finding care for your loved ones. RESEARCH. Speak w other residents - hang out for a few hours, be aware of ur surroundings 🧐<br>Good Luck 🔆 Many Blessings<br><br>The Grove is proving to be a truly remarkable place to call home. Staff is so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They have scheduled activities every day for those that are looking for something to do. We have Walmart, Target and various other outings on The Grove buss. Since I've been here (Christmas 2025) - There was a Holiday candlelit dinner which was not only delicious but the staff that served us had a great time too. We've had so many things that happen on our main floor that friends are being made and new memories are being created.<br>Alberto (Dir), is very caring and goes above and beyond to ensure we are taken care of and have everything we need. I personally have been through an unbelievable experience prior to the Grove and Alberto is helping me trust again and get all the assistance I need. The staff and caregivers are very attentive and usually leave me with a smile on my face and feeling happy to have chosen this Assisted Living facility. I highly recommend it.

The person at the front desk, was very rude. Her name is Lorena. I specifically asked if i could talk with the Victoria the Social Services assistant, and she gave me a room number. I clarified and said I meant to see the social services assistant and she gave a firm stare as if she was annoyed, and said that is the room of social services. But when I went up the room number she gave, it was apparently a patient's room and the patient was so upset that I knocked at the door.

Dec 2025, I moved in to The Grove and was greeted by Alberto, a Director in the Staff. He was very helpful & made me feel welcomed and at home. He introduced me to a caregiver named Andrea "Andy" whom assisted me in getting my things unpacked, put away and answered additional questions. She is truly a delightful young lady. Alberto has been my rock since my arrival .. he has gone above and beyond to make sure I'm getting the care I need. I'm so thankful to have landed at The Grove. I've been through an unbelievable experience and have stayed at a few other places that are a shame compared to how I've been treated by all the attentive and compassionate caregivers here. I'd highly recommend The Grove to anyone looking for a place to really call home and get the care they need. Many accolades to Alberto for making my transition so smooth and allowing me to learn how to trust again.

My 72 year-old grandmother stayed here and was handled with care! Everytime my family came to visit, she would relay to us the funny and nice stories she had while being taken care of by the staff at the Grove! And while we are visiting, the staff always accomadates us as well. We were worried about leaving our grandmother in an assisted living facility, but the Grove has not given us any regrets! Thank you to the staff working there for taking care of my grandmother well!
