CRDL uses conductive pads to trigger sound-stories tied to memories and emotions. Customizable with personal sounds; designed specifically for residents with dementia and cognitive challenges.
Memory care only — no mixed population
The entire 70-bed community is dedicated to memory care. Programming, staff training, and the secured environment are built around dementia and Alzheimer's care exclusively.
Hearing-impaired accommodations documented
Virtual interpreter services, message boards, and translator support during tours are explicitly offered for hearing-impaired residents — listed in the community's published FAQ.
Serious safety concerns
16 serious and 10 minor citations across 47 state inspections, with 12 verified complaints. Read the state's full inspection reports and press on what's been fixed before deciding.
No step-down care path on-site
Memory care is the only level of care offered. If a resident's needs shift — toward less intensive support or skilled nursing — relocation would be required.
Starting price may not reflect all-in cost
The $5,900/month figure is a starting rate. The facility's FAQ notes care assistance varies by resident; ask what care-level add-ons apply to your specific situation before comparing total costs.
