    Caring staff but safety concerns

    I had mixed but mostly positive experiences. The staff are outstanding - caring, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond; the building and grounds are beautiful, clean, and bright with great dining and activities, especially memory care. That said, my rehab stay exposed serious safety lapses (withheld walker, poor monitoring, a fall and hospitalization), and occasional cleanliness/equipment issues. I'd recommend this facility for assisted living/memory care because of the people and amenities, but urge families to verify safety/rehab protocols for higher-risk residents.
