My mother lives in Gencare Lifestyle at Granite Falls. It's a very good place. We like it real well. She's been there for seven years. The community is very caring and loving. They make it feel like family there. They also make for the family going in to visit part of the community too, they welcome that when we come, they remember who we are, and it's a very loving situation. I stayed there off and on when my mom needed a pacemaker when she was getting an operation to help with her. The food is fantastic. They do a wonderful job. The people who serve and wait on you are so caring and giving. And I thought that the residents had a wonderful choice of different foods and were prepared very nicely.
They have a bus that shuttles them to their doctors, to their appointments on certain days of the week. They have fun things where they have residents to sign up for. They go on shopping trips, sometimes they go out to dinner out to the park. They always have fun entertainment that comes in. They have a beauty salon there. So they have all kinds of things that they do to make it enjoyable for the residents. They have Bible study, exercise classes, they have games at different times, set up for the whole community, or individuals can set a certain time where they just get together with a small group and play cards, or games. It's a good place. They do a good job, especially with the COVID. They've different imaginative things to come up with, especially when everyone is in lockdown. They did things to entertain, so everybody was in their rooms, but they could stand in their doorways and see the group entertain them, just to give them a little something and uplift them.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
My mom was at Gencare Lifestyle at Granite Falls when she had a fall and was sent to the hospital. We wound up going back to remove all of her things and moved out. She was only able to move in on the first night, but the people seemed to be very kind and very caring. I had a very positive impression of the place. The only negative thing was that they do not have a COVID vaccine as a requirement across the board, but I would rate them very highly in every other regard.
Their staff was very nice and capable too. Then they have a hair and nail salon, a very lovely dining room, physical fitness equipment, and some socializing things with a TV and games. They have an activities coordinator and a vehicle for transporting people to various things, like shopping and doctors' appointments.
I ate there one time and the food was perfectly fine. It was definitely better than the typical institutional food. They were chef-prepared and nutritious. Also, they seemed to be very reasonably priced.

I visited this facility
I liked the lady I met at Gencare Lifestyle at Granite Falls. Her name was Roxie, I think she's the marketing supervisor, and she was very nice. The facility was clean, and quiet, and had a good menu.
