    Beautiful facility, unsafe memory care

    I have mixed feelings. The building is stunning - hotel-like rooms, chef meals, engaging activities - and many staff are warm, attentive and felt like family, so assisted-living life for my mom often seemed excellent. But memory care was inconsistent and at times alarming: dirty floors and laundry, buckets of water in hallways, lost clothing, poor supervision, understaffing, slow/uncaring management and medication/neglect concerns. Because of those safety and cleanliness issues, I cannot recommend this place for Alzheimer's/memory care, even though parts of the community are wonderful.
