Activities keep residents engaged

Dining quality is mixed
Dining receives both praise for quality and complaints about basic or unhealthy food.

Memory care concerns are serious
Some memory care reviews raise serious concerns about care and engagement.
A couple of reviews focused on the memory care unit describe a difficult experience that included a call from the facility and a transfer to the ER. These same reviewers also mention a lack of meaningful activities for memory care residents and concerns about caregiver attitude and compassion. While other reviewers are broadly positive about staff and activities, these memory-care-specific accounts stand out as a clear caveat.
