The building is the only nice thing about this facility, even though there is mold all over the ceiling. The management is horrible, constant staffing issues, always being shorted on your paychecks, and an unbearable workload.
Bruce Silverman
This is a wonderful facility and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Cindy, the sales director, is a pleasure to work with. You couldn't find a better place for your loved ones.

Don't let looks fool you, although this place has beautiful architecture and scenery, I would not recommend putting your loved one here. My grandfather had dementia and tended to wander so we had to place him from an assisted living facility to a memory care center and this one was the only one with an opening and now we know why. Within 3 months he went from a physically healthy man eating, drinking, walking, laughing, talking.. to passing away. We went on a 7 day vacation, checked on him the day before and he was talking, walking, eating and drinking just fine, our first day gone they claimed he fell asleep outside and they couldnt wake him up. We get messages from the manager saying he was doing fine so we finish our vacation, come back to visit him after 7 days and have to take him to emergency room for severe dehydration.. he had bed sores where they left him sitting in his recliner. Every time we would visit we would get mixed stories, workers would say one thing and documentation would say another. Med tech would say he didnt take his meds but records said he did. Manager would say he was doing well and ate, but workers would say he fell and wouldn't eat.. we were initially told there was always 3 people working memory care at all times.. as seen in an edited video to protect other residents privacy, you see no workers anywhere.. I have video proof of residents left unattended down hallways, unattended in group living space. The turnover here is atrocious. Although the ladies are lovely, they are completely untrained in how to deal with memory issues in elderly, often overheard speaking down to them and being forceful instead of suggestive, encouraging, or slightly firm. Ive seen a med tech repeatedly shove a spoon of meds against a lady's mouth who was in a wheelchair trying to force her to take liquid Tylenol. Do Not Put Your Loved Ones Here!
