Activities are plentiful, but gaps happen
Residents like the activity options, but some programs donât keep running.
Many reviews mention that the community has a range of activities, including planned daily programming, day trips, and resident engagement.

Memory care and dementia needs
Memory care experiences range from a major mismatch to urgent care issues.
Multiple reviews specifically call out problems for residents with dementia, including claims that memory care was horrible, staffing wasnât able to handle moderate-to-severe dementia, and medication administration didnât follow the prescribed plan. One review also describes placing a resident into memory care after an incident, and another notes a process of moving into higher levels of care as needs increase. Separately, some families say memory care is not under the same roof, which adds an extra moving consideration.
