Sweetbriar Villa is the perfect example of what an Assisted Living/Memory Care facility should feel like. It feels like home. The staff at Sweetbriar Villa genuinely care for the residents. It’s not a job it’s a family. Huge shoutout to the nurse Ariel, the Wellness Director Michelle, the Executive Director Nicole, Maintenance Man Mike, and the Kitchen Director David for making Sweetbriar as amazing as it is. And of course you can never forget about the caregivers/med techs who are taking care of these residents everyday putting their needs above their own day in and day out. Meagan, Jasmin, Brooklyn, Kaicee, Karrie, and Tammy are just a few out of the many employees who are just amazing.

July 2025, My mother went to stay for a 5 day respite. We had hoped that this would be repetitive thing in the future and were considering a possible permanent stay which is why we were ok paying the $2500 community fee in addition to their daily rate. We met with the Executive Director, Nicole Hampl, several times prior to her stay. We informed her of my mothers dementia and history of UTIs and even brought in two different medications she was taking to prevent them. During her stay, she was never showered - not once. Chart notes state that she refuses to shower, but since my mother has dementia, we assumed they knew what they were doing and would have coerced her into getting a shower at least once. My mother is easy to coerce if given options. Once we returned home, she tested positive for a UTI. Additionally, we unintentionally left her wallet in her room - it was stolen with about $100 in it. Don't care about the money, but someone took the whole wallet which included her SS card, medicare card, and other cards. All we got from them was "So sorry, we never have had this issue before". We filed a police report. Finally, she was only taken out of her room 1 time during her stay - also based on chart notes. I contacted Nicole Hampl and requested our non-refundable community fee to be returned but that of course fell on deaf ears - no response. Pricing is good here, but they have a thief in their staff and don't truly know how to handle dementia patients. There are a lot of bad assisted living homes out there, but this one has to be at the top of the list. I would recommend everyone to look elsewhere.
