    Warm attentive staff excellent care

    I placed my mom in this practically-new, impeccably clean, small senior home and have been very pleased. The staff are warm, professional and attentive - proactive with communication, arranged PT, handled meds, and treated her like family. Meals are hot and varied with diet options, rooms are large and lovely, memory care is on the 2nd floor, and there are many activities staff encourage (or in-room options). I have real peace of mind and would recommend this place to friends.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly positive, with multiple reviewers emphasizing cleanliness, compassionate staff, and a high standard of care. Cleanliness and maintenance are repeatedly noted as standout features — reviewers call the community "extremely clean," "very clean," and "well-maintained." The facility’s appearance and décor (pleasant painted walls, trees, and thoughtfully appointed rooms) contribute to a "homey" atmosphere that many families and residents find comforting.

    Staff quality and interpersonal care are the most frequently mentioned strengths. Numerous reviews describe staff as warm, caring, respectful, and treating residents like family. Families highlight knowledgeable, friendly caregivers who spend time with residents and accommodate dietary needs (including sugar-free and salt-free options). Staff camaraderie and visible presence (on-site manager, hall monitors, owner availability) give many reviewers confidence; comments note proactive communication with families and staff who are helpful in getting residents settled. Several accounts explicitly state that families "cannot imagine going anywhere else" and recommend the community to friends.

    Facilities and accommodations receive positive remarks as well. Private rooms are described as larger and beautifully appointed; common spaces include a regular dining room and a day room for activities. There is a memory care unit located on the second floor, which reviewers cite as a benefit for residents requiring that level of support. Practical services such as arranged physical therapy, on-site hair and pedicure services, outings, and a fully furnished respite room (noted as having had fees waived in one instance) are also highlighted as conveniences that improve resident quality of life.

    Dining and nutrition are consistent strengths: reviewers commonly praise the food, describing hot meals, warm portions, delicious offerings, and a large, varied menu. Dining flexibility is appreciated — residents can eat in the communal dining room or in their rooms. Reviewers also mention staff respect for family wishes regarding meals and attention to special dietary requirements.

    Activities and social engagement are generally well-regarded, with reports of a wide variety of planned activities, bingo, outings, and personal care services like pedicures and haircuts. Many families report that activities are well-planned and encourage participation, and that residents enjoy them and have good appetites. However, there is some variability in the activity experience: a few reviewers said their loved one could not participate in activities or that activities were lacking, indicating that engagement may depend on individual mobility, cognitive status, or staffing at particular times.

    There are notable limitations and a few negative reports to consider. Several reviewers point out that the community does not employ registered nurses and does not provide injections — a meaningful clinical limitation for residents with higher medical needs. Multiple comments warn that the facility may not be appropriate for people who require a high level of medical care. A small number of reviews raise concerns about occasional rude staff or problematic handling of health/care tasks; these are outliers in the dataset but important to note. Other practical limitations mentioned include the facility’s small size with limited amenities and a lack of outdoor area, which may matter to families seeking more extensive campus features.

    In summary, the dominant themes are cleanliness, strong interpersonal caregiving, good food, and a comfortable, family-like environment with attentive management and good communication. The community appears particularly well-suited to residents who need assisted living or memory care at a non-intensive medical level and who value personalized attention, social activities, and a tidy, home-like setting. Prospective residents and families should, however, confirm the level of clinical nursing support available and whether the facility’s amenity set and outdoor space meet their expectations. They should also discuss activity programming and participation options for residents with mobility or cognitive limitations, and raise any concerns about staff interactions during a tour or trial stay (respite) to ensure a good fit.
