Our happy residents & family members.
My mom's memory was not very good and the smaller environment was what she needed. She was able to still be independent while she could be and we knew she was safe because the door was code protected. The people living there make each other feel as if they have been friends for years. My mom had the best last 2 years of her life while living there before she passed and we could not be anymore grateful. They still reach out to check on my family even after my mom passed away.
If you are looking for memory care for your loved one, look no further. This community is safe, clean, has high quality care, and feels like HOME.
I am POA for my neighbor, an elderly gentleman with Alzheimer's disease. He was resistant to moving out of his home at first but the managers and staff worked very hard to make him feel at home. He has men friends, also residents, that he eats with and socializes with each day. The variety of meals provided are always nutritious and tasty.
