Before You Decide

Things to Consider

  1. Facility is memory care-focused with directed care only — not suited for independent or assisted living without cognitive care needs
  2. Small 34-bed capacity means limited availability; prospective residents should inquire early
  3. One negative review on record raises questions about staffing attentiveness during busy periods
  4. Pricing is at the higher end of the Mesa memory care market; confirm current rates directly with ownership

After reviewing these considerations, touring the community is the best way to confirm fit, layout, and daily feel.
