Virtual tours are available for families exploring options remotely.
Purpose-built for memory care
Opened in 2011 and designed exclusively for residents with Alzheimer's and related dementias — not a converted general assisted living facility.
Three levels of care within one building
Structured care tiers allow residents to age in place through all stages of memory loss without relocating to a different facility.
Architectural wayfinding design
Themed corridors, bright murals, and color-coded hallways are built into the physical layout to help residents with dementia navigate independently.
Average safety record
1 serious and 3 minor citations across 9 state inspections, with 4 verified complaints. Ask what's changed and how past issues were corrected when you visit.
Memory care only — no general assisted living
This facility serves exclusively residents with memory loss. It is not an option for a loved one who needs assisted living without a dementia diagnosis.
Semi-private rooms available — ask about unit mix
The facility offers both private and semi-private accommodations. Confirm availability and pricing difference for private-only if that matters to your family.
Care-level pricing not disclosed upfront
Three care tiers are listed but cost differences between levels are not published. Ask how care-level fees are assessed and how often they are re-evaluated.
Pricing is estimated, please contact the facility to confirm.
