I live here and I'm very satisfied. Staff are attentive and responsive 24/7 - the place is run by a psychiatric nurse and has its own psychiatrist, so dementia care and higher-level needs are handled well. The building is older with small, rustic rooms, but there's plenty of walking space, a nice outdoor area, and lots of activities (music, piano/guitar, TV, board games, arts & crafts). Overall, a caring, recovery-focused environment.

Summary review
Overall sentiment from the reviews is strongly positive, with a clear emphasis on quality of care and staff attentiveness. Multiple reviewers highlight 24-hour staffing and responsiveness as key strengths, suggesting residents receive consistent supervision and timely attention. The facility appears to provide a higher level of care than typical assisted living, reinforced by the presence of an on-site psychiatrist and leadership by a psychiatric nurse. This combination of clinical oversight and round-the-clock staffing suggests a setting well-suited for residents with complex medical or behavioral health needs.
Staff and care quality are recurring themes. Reviewers describe the staff as attentive, caring, and supportive, and there are explicit mentions of positive resident experiences and high satisfaction — including at least one account of a resident currently living there who is happy with the placement. The facility is also noted to cater to dementia, indicating experience with memory care populations. Phrases such as "recovery" and "higher level of care" point to an environment geared toward clinical improvement and stability rather than only basic daily assistance.
Amenities and activities are another strong point. The facility offers plenty of indoor walking space and a pleasant outdoor area, which support physical activity and mobility. There is a varied activities program with emphasis on music and creative pursuits: instrument rooms (piano and guitar), arts and crafts, board games, and TV. These features indicate a focus on engagement and quality-of-life programming that can benefit cognitive stimulation and social interaction. The mention of instrument rooms and a piano/guitar in particular suggests music is an active part of the recreational offering.
Management and clinical oversight are notable positives. The presence of an on-site psychiatrist and the fact that the facility is run by a psychiatric nurse are frequently mentioned, which conveys a higher degree of clinical expertise and potentially better coordination of behavioral health and medication management. For families and residents who require psychiatric support or have dementia-related behaviors, this administrative and clinical structure is likely an important advantage.
Facility condition and physical environment show mixed feedback. Several reviews describe the building as older and somewhat rustic, with small resident rooms. The dining area is repeatedly characterized as informal or reminiscent of a summer camp, which may appeal to some for its casual atmosphere but could be perceived by others as lacking in refinement or modern amenities. These aspects are the main sources of concern and may matter more to prospective residents prioritizing contemporary, spacious accommodations.
In summary, the reviews paint Grace Home as a care-focused, clinically capable facility with strong, attentive staff and a wide range of engagement activities—particularly music and creative programs. It appears especially well-suited for residents needing dementia support or psychiatric oversight. The trade-offs are primarily about the physical environment: an older, modest facility with small rooms and a rustic, informal dining space. For families prioritizing clinical expertise, staff responsiveness, and active programming, Grace Home's strengths are likely to outweigh its aesthetic and space limitations. For those who prioritize modern accommodations and larger private living spaces, these physical drawbacks should be considered.
