What families are saying

We’ve gathered and summarized real family reviews from across the internet for you. Contact a CareScout representative for details.

The reviews for The Springs at Mill Creek present a mixed picture of the assisted living facility. Many reviewers express satisfaction with the care provided, highlighting the compassionate, attentive, and kind staff. Residents receive three meals a day, and the food quality is praised. The facility is described as a great place for aging in place, with excellent COVID-19 protocols ensuring safety and peace of mind for families. Activities and a clean environment are appreciated, contributing to a positive experience for residents. However, there are notable criticisms, particularly concerning the dementia care section, which is reported to have a persistent odor of urine despite cleaning efforts. This aspect detracts from the overall experience for some visitors. Another review mentions a negative experience with the facility's front desk staff, citing unfriendliness and a lack of responsiveness to maintenance requests. The exterior of the facility is described as uninviting, and there was a failure to provide a scheduled tour, leading to a poor initial impression. Overall, while many families are pleased with the care and environment at The Springs, there are areas, particularly in communication and maintenance, that could benefit from improvement.

July 2024

Our family truly appreciated how well the staff and employees took care of our sister, DeLinda and always made her feel like she was home. If there was any problems, day or night, one phone call would resolve the issue. Since one of the family visited her almost daily, we received the same kind of treatment she was accustomed too. With so many staff and members coming to DeLinda's funeral, we truly felt the love and caring she and our family had received. Would also like to mention the skills of Maintenance, Housekeeping, Scheduled and Bus transportation, wonderful Chef's, and Laundry and the tremendous jobs they did daily!! A "five star" review does not accurately reveal how much the staff and employees loved and cared for our sister and visa versa.
