My brother and I made the decision to put our mom in the Laurel memory care unit back in May. We have been very pleased with the care she has received. She has a beautiful spacious apartment and a private bathroom. There are lots of activities to keep the resident’s busy. I really like the fact that the residents are not allowed to sit around in their room doing nothing. There is constantly some type of activity going on and the staff goes out of their way to engage the residents. They have been very attentive in the care of my mom.

Update to my 1 star. This facility needs a new executive director because the current one is incompetent and does not act on logic but her own feelings and berates staff and resident family members.

My mom, Betty, has been at The Laurel for two years now. It is a wonderful place with an excellent and caring staff. They provide several activities daily, celebrate all birthdays and holidays and promote family involvement. Family of the residents are treated as family of The Laurel. The Laurel provides outside services such as hair and nail appointments so that they can maintain aspects of life before the Laurel. The Laurel provides educational seminars like Alzheimer’s and Dementia as well as other topics. I highly recommend the Laurel as a perfect establishment for your loved one. Denise
