My in-laws have lived here since October 2022 in Assisted Living. We feel they are in a good place and have the quality care we were looking for. Staff is wonderful, caring, kind, and compassionate. They get 3 meals a day and the food is good. Very happy with this facility.

My mother moved into The Springs at Mill Creek in October last year. She has had wonderful care and, especially now, her family feels so thankful for the safety she is afforded. Their excellent Covid19 protocol has allowed us to sleep easier, knowing mom is happy and healthy.

On the dementia side of the building......The staff seems friendly enough and the rooms are adequate but it reeks of urine. Even after they "clean" it still reeks. I love my friend of 48 years and don't like seeing her there. But life is still life. Sometimes you just have to endure. I know that I wouldn't want to live there
