    Clean, caring, affordable with issues

    I placed my mom here and overall I'm grateful - the facility is very clean, homey, well-kept with bright dining, a salon, large rec room and private rooms with en-suite and walk-in closets. Staff are generally compassionate, helpful with bathing/dressing and frequent check-ins, and the dementia team was welcoming - I saw real improvement and it gave our family peace of mind. There are lots of activities (bingo, crafts, church, outings) but residents who have very limited communication sometimes get less engagement. Communication and consistency can be a problem: some requests were ignored, family notifications were delayed, and a few caregivers were not attentive; nutrition variety/protein was a concern. It's relatively affordable compared to others here but cash-only and pricey (> $5k/mo). Despite flaws, my mom is happy, the place feels like home, and I would recommend it.
