    Exceptional staff, beautiful grounds, pricey

    My mom has lived at Villa Lorena for five years and overall it's been exceptional - beautiful, home-like and impeccably maintained with resort-like grounds and spacious, cheery apartments. The staff (Joey, Leyla, Beth and many compassionate caregivers) are outstanding, know residents by name, and provide individualized, loving care that has really improved my mom's life. Meals are delicious with generous portions and there are daily activities, live music and plenty of options to stay engaged. Downsides: it's pricey, a small community with no on-site memory unit and no RN (LVNs only), and I've noticed occasional staffing shortfalls and slow administrative responses. I highly recommend touring if you value excellent staff and a beautiful environment, but confirm it meets higher-level medical needs first.
