Walden is terrific! The folks who work there are so kind and my parent absolutely loves it there. This was a very happy surprise, we were not expecting this transition to go well but Walden proved us wrong. Communication with family members is excellent. Everything about our family’s experience with Walden has exceeded expectations. Thank you!

My father moved to Walden Place in August. Like many people in his situation, my father was very resistant to the idea of moving to an assisted living community. Despite his initial skepticism, however, my father quickly settled into the community. In fact, my father recently acknowledged that he is thriving at Walden and enjoying the social engagement, wonderful meals, daily activities, and 24/7 support. The staff at Walden is truly exceptional. They are kind, caring, and professional. Walden offers a very welcoming community for both its residents and their families. At this point, I have spent a significant amount of time visiting my father -- so I have had ample opportunity to assess the quality of Walden and its services. Having said that, I feel comfortable recommending Walden to families that are looking for an outstanding assisted living residence for their loved ones.

I remember my stepdads mother was moved here back in 2005 when she had Dementia when she couldn’t live on her own anymore but then one this place couldn’t take her anymore when she got worse.
