    Immaculate hotel-like; pricey, limited dementia

    I moved my mom here and overall we're very happy: the place is immaculate and hotel-like, with brilliant meals, abundant activities, and a warm, friendly staff who know residents by name. Staff from dining to housekeeping and maintenance are attentive and often go above and beyond, giving us real peace of mind; the location and amenities are excellent. It's pricey, but I felt the value was there for independent/assisted living. That said, if you need serious memory/dementia care or complex nursing support, I noticed inconsistent nursing performance and communication lapses - not my pick for advanced dementia.
