I can’t say enough good things about my mom’s assisted living facility. From the moment we arrived, Christine Munns, Caroline Bradshaw, Gina, Michaela, and Staci—just to name a few—have gone above and beyond to make both my mom and our entire family feel welcome. They have a true gift for connecting with residents and their families. They took the time to get to know my mom personally and helped her feel at home right away. Christine does an incredible job introducing residents to one another and encouraging involvement in the community’s many activities, which is so important for older adults making this major transition from their homes into this new chapter of life. The activities calendar is outstanding—there’s truly something for everyone, and the staff puts in so much effort to keep things engaging, fun, and meaningful. From group outings and games to crafts and live music, there’s always something to look forward to. It makes such a difference in the residents’ lives. They also have an on-site hair salon, which is such a wonderful perk. It gives residents a sense of normalcy, independence, and dignity—plus it’s a lovely way for them to treat themselves and socialize. Staci does a wonderful job and also is a friend to all the residents. Another key part of our positive experience has been the Right At Home services. Rachel, Michaela, Benji, and Taylor are all compassionate, attentive, and always available. Whether it’s help with daily needs, medication reminders, or just making sure my mom is comfortable and happy, they’re there. The entire team is incredibly responsive and genuinely cares. Since I work out of town frequently, it brings me so much peace of mind knowing that my mom is safe, cared for, and truly part of a community. Everyone keeps a loving, watchful eye on her, and I cannot express how much that support has meant to us. We are so grateful.

Christi the General Manager does a wonderful job! She is the best manager we have had in the four years I have been here, she handles everything pleasantly and with a smile. We are very pleased with her and she is always a delight to see and chat with.

Thank you just doesn’t seem to be enough to convey the gratitude I have for the love, care and assistance that Kristi and her crew at WC have given to my father. Moving him from a cottage to an apartment at a most difficult time wasn’t an easy task, but the smooth transition and the quality of care have exceeded my expectations. The employees of WC are so very kind and caring to their residents! That’s why we love our WC family!

Christi the General Manager is extremely helpful and pleasant to everyone. We wouldn't trade her for anybody, she does what what it takes to get the job done. She is always in control of the situation at all times. We are lucky to have her.

lol, this place isn’t understaffed because they can’t find workers. This place is understaffed because they don’t wanna pay more people when their ’housekeepers’ can do the jobs of four other people. Also, all the employees bad mouth the residents and don’t really care about them at all, despite how nice they are to their face. & for someone they hired who worked in restaurants for nine years before here, they sure did talk to me like I was stupid when I could tell them more about their kitchen then they probably knew. Those ServSafe certifications they have are garbage because they do so much that could make the residents sick and they have no idea they do it and it wasn’t my place to call them out for it, and one of the only employees who was able to tell it bothered me encouraged me to bite my lip, so I did…by leaving. ☺️.
