While the Memory Care director and staff did their best, the food was institutional, there wasn't adequate supervision in the main meeting space. Doctor visits went on there at the same time as programmed activities. How does that protect the privacy of the residents? Not a place I would go back to. Maybe it has gotten better." - Genevieve…
