In Their Words

What Residents and Families Say

My dad lived therefore about 3 years before passing on in his early seventies with moderate to severe Alzheimer's at the end. The staff were amazing and treated him like their own family that he didn't meet until the very end of his life. They were well-trained and went above and beyond to include him in activities and gave him dignity. And supervisors and many employees have decades of experience! They partner quite well with Hospice of the Midwest which also made a great difference in his quality of care !!!!

Suzanne Kleitsch

I’ve had the opportunity to visit this community many times over the years and am always impressed with how active the residents are and how clean the building is. The staff is tenured, knowledgeable and truly wants what’s best for their residents.

Jon Schultz

It is strictly memory care! By using this one we didn't have so many residents compared to nursing homes. Staff has been exceptionally helpful, supportive, and patient! There are so many activities, [name removed] doesn't use them but she gets social interaction. First room she had by herself. Lots of room! She rooms with another woman and plenty of room. They do their best to keep everyone moving and in groups.
