We recently toured The Sentinel while exploring options for my brother. Ms. Rodecker was wonderful—pleasant, knowledgeable, patient, and very thorough. She took her time with us and answered all of our questions without ever making us feel rushed. The facility was very impressive, with many supportive services and a variety of activities for residents. Although my brother isn’t quite ready to make the transition, we truly appreciated the tour and the welcoming experience. Thank you, Ms. Rodecker!

Meals go from edible to trash. DR service is awful. Little regard for “clean air act” as residents are consistently allowed to smoke in non smoking areas.

I am a discharge planner at a local hospital. The staff in admissions and the business office worked very well with me and a patient here to get her into their facility. It was a smooth transition process to get her there from the hospital. I hear she is very happy there, thriving and doing well. She had been living alone previously and not doing well.
