The reserve is outstanding! Mom loved the staff there. They took their time with residents and treated everyone with dignity and respect. VERY clean and we maintained. Mom looked forward to meal time because the food was made with love. I highly recommend😊

I visited this community as a healthcare<br>professional while there for a continuing education class. I found it clean, no off putting odors, and the residents seem very well cared for. The staff members are very welcoming, friendly and very kind to the residents. I would refer any of my patients who need memory care here.

This place is wonderful if your loved one needs bare minimum help. They are understaffed and they provide poor training. My father was having issues adjusting and the only doctor or nurse visit he received was over the phone. It just got worse from there. We had to move out because their staff couldn't handle him. They raised his care level drastically after one month. They overmedicated him to zombie status. To add insult to injury, they overbilled us on the last month. I would recommend this place if you need to get back at someone. Otherwise, steer clear.

My Dad was a resident for little over a year. This place is special. It provides a safe place for those who need memory care to continue to have some independence and live in a community environment. Their activities program is unlike anything I have seen. The residents have opportunities to stay active and make friends. They keep them busy with hands on crafts, activities, and projects. My favorite day to visit was ice cream & bingo Tuesday. Highly recommend!
