My 92 year old dad is a resident. This is the second home we have tried and the last. This place is simply outstanding. The care, food, entertainment, rooms…….all excellent. The staff to a person are all top shelf and the management team is awesome. He is living his best life and loves this place.

This is my first review. I’m 94! This place is great. I’m not much use at anything anymore so I appreciate it when the nurse feeds me from her mouth, it restores my feeling of youthfulness, when I used to get all the ladies… boys occasionally too. If you’re thinking of staying here, the north staircase is where some of us meet for some good old adult fun. By invitation only though. Food is great too!

The dementia care for my parents was not good enough. For the incredible expense of 8000$/mo One expected clean rooms, good communication and care. My dad looked homeless, often unshaven and poorly dressed. The worst experience OF MY LIFE occurred when a student nurse sent my father to the ER and did not call me! Unbelieveable. No consequences for this mistake. Do not put your parents here-the GM is useless.
