Was a warm and friendly environment. He gave my father in law the care that he needed. If we had questions they were able to answer. My father in law seemed very comfortable there and he had no complaints.

Response from the owner

Hi, Duane. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review! We are glad to hear your Father-in-law enjoyed his time with us.

Clean; quiet; wide variety of services; perhaps a little pricey for the many add-on services. Confusing program for rentals vs “buy-in.” Independent living apartments very nicely done. Overall decor a little outdated. Friendly and helpful staff.

Response from the owner

Hi, Kirt. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!

My father moved to thorncrest in April. He is getting the care he needs for this time of his life. The family was able to share mothers day in one of the common areas. The staff are very respectful and provide great care. I am thankful that we chose thorncrest for this journey of his life.

Response from the owner

Hi, Kendra. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and for the opportunity to serve your father and your family.
