My sister found them and we thought it was really lovely. My mom lives there now and it has been going great. She is happy. I have been over there every day in the evening and it is going really well. They are very good to her. We are really pleased so far. The people are extremely nice and it is very clean. I feel like they are concerned about my mom's needs. Anything that we asked for or mentioned, they are right there. It has been a very positive experience. My mom really likes it. She is super picky and she does not eat very much. A couple of times she did not like what they gave her, so they got her something she did like. I asked them to bring something else and they did that. For activities, they have bingo; however my mom has dementia, so she is a little different than most people. She is happy though and she thinks it is a beautiful place. It is very nice and the people are nice. She has got a beautiful apartment and I think it has been great. We are pleased with everything right now. She is in assisted living, but we are keeping an eye on memory care. If ever she needs to be moved to memory care, we are going to do it; but for now, we are starting with assisted living.

It was very nice. There wasn’t anything detracting from the place; it was just a little farther than some of the others we looked at. The staff person was very helpful in the things that we should look for. It was a little harder for us to get there, and that was the only thing that kind of steered us away from there. Their entertainment area was very nice. They had a large screen TV, nice seating, and so forth.

We are moving my mother here. We chose this community because she has her own apartment, and she gets each level of care. As her dementia continues to progress, she can stay in the same facility and just go to a different floor, all the way to the final stage of Alzheimer's. Regarding the staff, the contact that we had with them as we visited was outstanding. The person who showed us around was fantastic. The staff is decorating my mother's apartment right now; we are actually moving her in tomorrow morning. They have an on-staff chef, so it is not just a mess hall cook. The food is fresh, and they have a feature meal. They're good quality food.

I visited and it was very clean and nice. I looked at the rooms and it was nice, but it was small. My mom is the one who needs to decide which place she wants to stay in. I think the place would be good for her, but she is not convinced yet. We ate lunch there and the food was delicious.
