I have visited over 100 communities across the United States and Mirror Lake Village is one of the nicest out there serving our Seniors. Their cottages feature 2 bedrooms, great floorplans and for the upstairs unit a private elevator and attached garage. The Assisted Living is very much like a high end boutique hotel, great apartments and the Residents and staff all seemed so happy during my visit. If your loved one needs Memory Care, they have a freestanding Memory Care building that has great units, with a central living room and common area. The Residents have tons of room across three floors to explore, including one of the nicest secured outdoor gardens I have seen. The staff were engaged with the Residents during my visit, the area was clean and I was thoroughly impressed. There are many options to choose from, but Mirror Lake Village is really a standout amongst many.

If you can avoid putting your family members here, you should! I visit my grandpa once a week. Everytime I see new faces. I’ve talked with a few employees and the management here is scary. Too much work, not enough people and cutting people hours. I’ve had a short interaction with the kitchen new manager and wow. My only thought is how could someone be so rude. I hope she treats her kitchen staff better. The memory care units reek of pee. At times no one can be found and the nurses who are found seem to always be too busy. At times I’ve ran into the servers there but they don’t have keys to the rooms, or don’t know what could’ve happened with my fathers foot rest that go on his wheelchair. I can see why so many people come and go which is unfortunate because it is such a beautiful building.

Staff was none responsive. Can't recommend using this facility. Will need to look elsewhere for accommodations in the area for my father. No need to reply to this review with a response. Didn't receive one when I reached out the first two times, no need after the third. "reviewed" ...please. ....seems like that's all they do. very reflective of a non-full service approach.
