      Home-like clean caring but inconsistent

      I toured and placed a loved one here and overall I'm glad we did. The house is beautiful, newer, immaculately clean and feels like a home - sunroom with panoramic woodland views, quiet dead-end street. Staff were mostly warm, efficient and communicative (quick to respond, sent photos, supported us through end-of-life), but quality varies and a few caregivers felt cold; management hasn't always handled staff problems well. Meals are home-cooked, dietary needs respected, laundry and cleanliness excellent; residents have private bedrooms but share bathrooms (up to four), and the kitchen/dining and overall floor plan feel cramped with limited on-site activities. It's on the expensive side (about $4,500 for dementia care) but many find it a kinder, safer alternative to a nursing home. If you want a peaceful, home-like place and can tolerate occasional staffing inconsistencies and tight spaces, this is a very good option.
