"Our family is so grateful to the staff and especially to the Memory care staff. My Mother in law just went in December and although it hasn't been that long we have times the high level of professionalism from the staff. More importantly they give such wonderful care and love towards the patient. Memory care is a hard place to work...very challenging and we have noticed the patience and kindness of the staff towards the patients who really are in need 24 hours a day. In our case my mother in law was extremely anxious and cried a lot certain times of the day. She was confused and at times agitated due to her dementia. Every time a family member visited we came upon a scene of them holding my mother in laws hand and trying to comfort her and giving her positive encouragement and love. They would cheer her on and keep her spirits high. Just absolutely lovely to see.....we would go unannounced and so we know now that its not just for show. Truly appreciated!" - Monica… Read more

"It is hard to write this because not all of our experience with Prestige, now Marbella Assisted living was negative. Many good people work there and gave our Mom loving care. It is upper management and the owners that are the exception. During Mom's very last month of life she deserved the highest level of comfort and care. Sadly, a heavy corporate shift towards maximizing profit completely stripped that away. We experienced this focus on the bottom line firsthand. In an effort to save money, we moved Mom from her one-bedroom unit into a smaller studio space. Within a very short time, corporate management raised the rent on the studio, erasing the cost savings gained in the downsizing. We were forced to move Mom during her final days because of Marbella's inflexible rules to not crush pain meds when Mom couldn't swallow pills any longer. Marbella would not bring in help to clean Mom's ears so she could hear us. Roseleaf Gardens did both and charged $2,500 less for same service." - Mike… Read more

It was a lovely place that gave us peace and comfort during this difficult time."… Read more
