“I toured nine facilities, and this one had a homey feel, especially with its very large outdoor space. That's what sold me. Management has come a long way and responds to my concerns. They send me videos of my mom dancing with the activity staff and guests, and she loves it. Maintenance is timely, and the caregivers call me about everything. She's as happy as can be, absolutely safe and comfortable, and I would recommend it.”

“My mother is happy, well treated, well fed, dressed every day, always clean, and included in activities. She loves the food. They've had her finger painting, flower arranging, at a Sunday sing-along, and even at a senior prom. Whenever something needs to happen, they call me and take care of it. The landscaping is gorgeous. If you're looking for a place to send someone, it's excellent. It's the best.”
“Management is accessible and follows through when they say they'll do something. My mom seems to enjoy everything they serve, and there's a big variety. They keep residents busy all day with games, music, crafts, and lots of other activities. Her room is always clean, and maintenance makes repairs in a timely way. The nurses always keep me well informed and are very responsive to my requests. I would recommend it.”
“Every service and every single item has been addressed professionally and promptly, and we are very pleased. I've joined the Wednesday luncheons; the food is good, with good variety and a balanced diet. The activities are tailored to residents' abilities, and I've seen my wife participating and smiling. She is always nice and clean, and everything is in place every time I visit. The nurses are aware of all her needs and keep me informed. I've seen other facilities, and she is adapting real well here. Definitely recommended.”
“We looked at other places, and this one just felt more homey. Leadership communicates well by email or text and knows every resident. There are family luncheons every Wednesday and snacktivity twice a day with fresh fruits and vegetables. Activities run all day, from mind games to indoor volleyball and outings. My dad always has his own clothes, and his place is nice and clean. The caregivers are very attentive and call to tell me how his day went. I highly recommend it to friends with parents who need memory care.”
“I visited multiple places, and this one was clean, organized, friendly, and supportive. On my first visit, the director was busy giving residents manicures and pedicures. My mother wouldn't eat anything at home, but she eats everything here, and the service is great. They have a variety of activities and try to include everyone without pushing. Her room is very clean. The staff who care for her day to day are amazing, the most patient, loving people, to everyone there. I don't worry about my mother at all. Without a doubt, I'd recommend it.”
“We were referred here by another community in town, and that was a high recommendation. Management has been great.

The building is well maintained, and the caregivers are so kind and patient. I'd be very likely to recommend it.”
“It really is a good place, with a nice facility and a nice staff. Management is very accommodating; they arranged a conference call because we live far away, and they seem to be on top of what's going on. Our friend is very picky, and I still give the food a ten. His room was tidy, and maintenance took care of the furniture delivery with no problem. The caregivers are a ten, all of them, and he always mentions that everybody's very nice to him.”

Type A citations are for “the most serious type of violations in which there is an immediate risk to the health, safety or personal rights of those in care,” and are issued “even if the violation is corrected on the spot.”
Type B citations are for “a violation that, if not corrected, may [pose] an immediate risk to the health, safety or personal rights of clients,” such as faulty medical record keeping or staff training.
CCLD: “There is no difference between an inconclusive and an unsubstantiated complaint allegation. Both terms mean that there was no preponderance of evidence to prove that an alleged violation occurred.” Allegations CCLD finds unfounded are also not substantiated.
