These people were amazing for our friend who had nowhere to go after getting out of rehab. They took great care to work with us to make her comfortable for the last several weeks of her life. I did not have the luxury of asking when to visit and was pleasantly surprised on every visit; the place was clean, the staff friendly, and most importantly our friend was happy there.

What distinguishes this community from other senior living and memory care providers is the collaboration across all departments—health services, dining, life enrichment, environmental services, and administration. The communication and teamwork create a holistic experience that supports residents’ physical, emotional, social, and mental well-being.

My mother just moved in last month and has been so happy. She loves the staff and has said the food is good. I have not tried it but it looks good. I wish they would offer more outings but my mother says she is having fun. They were the only memory care that would allow her to bring her cat.
