"My sister and I went to several Memory facilities in advance of Dad impending move. We chose this community because it was in his home town, 7 miles from me, had a memory unit of 3 floors and reminiscence unit on the fourth floor. His first two years he became part of the community by interacting with the wonderful staff. When his Alzheimers progressed he moved to the remembrance floor where he felt he was part of the staff again. He loved to tease the staff, sing and get into mischief. Throughout his stay we worked with their Wellness staff and his doctors to stay on top of the Alzheimers progression. At the end of his life he went out in dignity with the genuine love of all his second family." - Susanne…

"On the outside, this facility presents well. On the inside, my loved one was not well cared for. Examples: a "med tech" came to take a wellness check, however the blood pressure cuff didn't work, he brought back a second one which also didn't work, and left to get a third one! Another example; at 3 am my partner had pain; he pressed the button and asked for pain meds; the attendant came in 10 minutes and my partner asked for pain med only to be followed by a "med tech" arriving 10 minutes later to ask (again) about the problem; my partner asked AGAIN for pain med, TWO HOURS later, the med tech brought the pain med! This is inexcusable and incompetence. The facility has some nice staff, but others are untrained and clueless. The restaurant has limited food; and if one is there at "off-hours," one is not treated well, even though the rules say food is available at any time. Staffing is mixed with some nice and others being regimented and letting one know there are "rules."." - Helen…

"You might think why I am giving One Star. Let me explain to you, why? One star for initial impression from the front desk customer care team. We went to their open house on May 27, 2026. There were 5 Ladies standing there checking people in, however Lady name Ellen mostly spoke and others were looking funny towards us. She was refusing to acknowledge that we called to make the reservation. She said it is for independent living when the flyer said assisted living, memory care as well. They assume our mom needs assisted living and she was pushing for independent living ONLY. The bottom line is they weren't inviting at all and actually kind of hinting us to leave after we spent money to drive there. As you can see no one EVER invited or willing to visit their origin countries and that kind of proves why they were so uninviting. We didn’t get to see inside the S.R Center but from out it was big & open. Hope the place is inviting to their People!" - lily…
