    Clean homey small memory care

    I toured and moved my mom here and overall I'm impressed - the place is very clean, homey and small (one floor, private studios-2BR), with a lovely courtyard/aviary, salon, and restaurant-style dining. Staff are mostly friendly, caring and attentive, activities are frequent and well-organized, and residents seem content - it felt like a good fit for memory-care needs. Downsides: some apartments are small/dark and there have been occasional unpleasant smells, inconsistent family communication, and spotty dementia training or dismissive staff behavior. Food and meal variety were hit-or-miss for us. I'd recommend it but suggest a second visit and asking specifically about staff training and visiting flexibility.

The community offers different care levels, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so residents can have just the right support, whether they're mostly independent, need some help with daily activities, or live with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Friendly caregivers and registered nurses are around at all hours to provide care coordination, and there's a HigherPath care model that's supposed to make sure the care team works together with residents to keep them healthy.

    Residents can take part in activities run by an activity director, use walking paths around the community, relax in sitting areas, a sunroom or screened porch, or meet others in the resident lounge or common room, and there's pet therapy and pets are welcome, which is nice for animal lovers.

Folks can enjoy home-style food and scratch-made meals at the Family Table, try dishes at the bistro, or use the private dining room for special occasions, while housekeeping and laundry services help keep apartments tidy.

    The building has controlled access and an emergency call system for safety, plus internet and Wi-Fi, so residents can stay connected, and transportation services-including a community van-are available for errands and social outings. Medication management is offered, and every service plan is all-inclusive, so residents can know what they're paying for each month.
