Christy Russell

The staff has done a fabulous job at trying to appease my father in the memory care unit. He is very paranoid and suspicious of everyone! They have been very patient with him and have gone out of their way to accommodate his requests while still making sure, to the best of their ability, that he is getting his medications and the best care possible! They have done a wonderful job communicating any issues that my father may have. They have also answered any questions I may have and put my mind at ease that I made the right choice in his care and he is in the right place and where he needs to be.

Staff and management worked well with us to make my mother's time there perfect. They provided care over and above what most assisted living facilities will do. The facility is bright and cheerful, and staff are always happy to see family and help as needed.
