    Beautiful facility but understaffed concerns

    I placed my mom in the dementia-specific unit because the rooms are large, bright and private, the decor and grounds are beautiful and housekeeping is excellent - staff were kind, supportive and helped with a comforting transition. However the facility is clearly understaffed (one activities person for many households), so activities and supervision are minimal, meals are repetitive/average to poor, and residents can be left idle in the locked memory-care unit. Good environment and caring people when they're there, but staffing/safety and activity issues make me hesitant to fully recommend it.
