I met Reuben Maughn at this location for a tour, so this review is based on my observations during our walkthrough. First of all, Reuben was very friendly, knowledgeable and consistently kept asking if I had any questions. Customer service at this location appeared to be top notch. Every employee or resident I met were super friendly. The amenities this location has are outstanding. They have private dining room, looks like a conference room, but was very roomy. The dining experience is similar to any sit-down type restaurant and the menu had a good variety. I liked the outdoor patio area, which had a custom pizza oven, vegetable garden, and small dog park. I was shown a single bedroom and studio bedroom. Both of the bedrooms appeared to be roomy and had showers for people over 35; there were no steps to get into the shower. I really liked the place because it had a lot of amenities and was not a huge facility. I have visited huge facilities which can be overwhelming for me, more less my 97 year old mother. I hope this place works out for my mother; everything about this place was positive.

Paintbrush Memory Care has been a wonderful place for my mom with dementia. Traci and her staff of amazing people care for my mom’s physical and mental needs with a gentleness and kindness that has exceeded my expectations. I am able to leave after every visit knowing she is treated with respect and love.
