"I want to live there! The staff are all warm and friendly. I can tell it is a great community by how the residents are smiling! Clean beautiful private grounds. Not on a busy street. Renovated this year, unlike others that tell you "oh, we are going to renovate". They have great trips like going to York Beach Maine and eating there at a restaurant! Easy to walk around. Stores near by all with in walking distance plaza, wine and liquor store, CVS, many restaurants for change of pace! They don't nickel and dime you like some others. No pet fee, no room transfer fee, family can visit and eat there no extra charge! Wonderful! My mom is very excited! Ask for a tour! Seeing is believing!" - Gunther… Read more

"I echo the above descriptions regarding the memory care unit. Inadequate staffing levels, environment, and senior management communication extremely poor. When my LO first entered memory care, he was very independent and therefore ignored. As his disease progressed, the facility did not communicate with the family to work on strategies. He was ignored. When brought to their attention, the rates would increase, citing more care required additional time to complete tasks. There was no additional care. This facility does not possess the expertise for advanced memory needs. A money grab. Take the time to research stand alone memory care facilities. They truly care about residents and staff." - Lori… Read more
