A Better Choice Assisted Living is a place that aims to give seniors considerate and supportive care, where people find a warm and homelike feel as soon as they arrive, with water fountains, rock gardens, statues, and an open kitchen that welcomes everyone in. The staff spend time with residents, listen closely, and help with bathing, grooming, dressing, medications, and meals, with Care Managers and certified nurses always on hand, making sure there's round-the-clock support every day and night with personalized care plans. The building is a single-story layout, easy to navigate, with private and semi-private rooms that are wheelchair-friendly, modern bathrooms, and necessities like Wi-Fi, cable TV, and pet-friendly policies, and you'll find outings, activities, massage therapy on request, and health and wellness programs to keep residents engaged and feeling part of the community. People living here get three nutritious meals a day, snacks and drinks whenever needed, and weekly laundry and housekeeping, along with memory care that's calm and secure for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, with therapies that focus on routines and activities to help reduce confusion and wandering. There's a focus on supporting both physical and emotional needs, ensuring residents receive gentle help with incontinence, mobility, and everyday tasks, while the community stays safe, bright, and welcoming, with outings, transportation, and access to in-home primary care, podiatry, and therapy services as needed. The facility works with MorningStar Senior Living and Fountain View Village by Cogir, which both offer strong memory care and assisted living services, and together they create a social setting where residents have dignity, independence, and help as they need it, whether they're there for the long term, for memory care, or just a short stay.

Compassionate professional care with flaws
I found the staff genuinely loving, communicative and attentive-stable caregivers and an experienced RN made the small, home-like setting feel safe, and my loved one was clean, well-fed, settled and closely watched for dementia needs. The intimate facility has pleasant greenery, a kitchen, garden/pool, transportation and outings, hospice/house-call doctor access, and staff who encourage visits. Rooms are cramped, some lack private baths and furnishings feel dated amid dark hallways, and I thought it a bit overpriced, but overall I'm comfortable recommending their compassionate, professional care.
