"Great care and easy communication in a small community"
I picked this place because my mom needed memory care. The care was really good, but we had to hire overnight caregivers since she would get up at night, which cost extra. The people were awesome, the care was awesome, and it was a small community. The activities were fun, and I could visit every day whenever I wanted. Communication was easy, and I could talk to the director anytime.

"Welcoming Assisted Living: A Place Mom Calls Home"
I had already decided where to put my mom, but after visiting this place, I changed my mind. We really like it here. Mom is doing great—settling in well and getting good care. I feel much better knowing she's here. She's eating regularly now, which she wasn't doing before, and she enjoys the food. The staff here is fantastic—very helpful and friendly. I would suggest this community to others.

"Great care and friendly staff make this place wonderful"
I have no complaints about the care my wife has been getting since she moved here. The staff are all very friendly and always do their best to meet her needs. I love that they have a doctor on-site and a great nursing team, so I don't have to take her off-campus for appointments. Overall, it's been a pleasant experience, and I would recommend it to anyone.

"Clean, friendly atmosphere; good impression, but no food tasting"
We checked out this place while looking for my dad. It was very clean and had a nice feeling. I didn’t get to try the food on the tour. The regular guide wasn’t there, so a maintenance guy showed me around, but he was really friendly.

"Decent Facility, But Mom Requires More Specialized Care"
This place is alright, and everyone is super friendly, but my mom needs more help. One time, my mom hadn't eaten any breakfast or gotten dressed, and when I told the head person, they were really shocked. Right now, we're waiting to get into memory care.

"Great fit for care and activities at AlmaVia"
AlmaVia is special because it's a non-profit started by a church. It welcomes all religions and also focuses on the individual needs of each resident. With registered nurses available every day and memory care if needed, it seems like a great fit for my 93-year-old mother-in-law, who is still independent but might need more help soon. There are many activities and clubs for residents, showing a level of engagement that's uncommon in these types of facilities. We’re very pleased to have found AlmaVia.

"Friendly Staff, Great Food, and Family-Oriented"
The staff at this place are super friendly and make sure there’s plenty to do. They really go out of their way to help new residents feel at home. My parents have been there for a month and a half, and the staff are all really nice most of them already know my name! They keep in touch with me, and the food is really good, which is important to my parents.

"Pricey but nice; insistent on memory care for loved one."
We thought about this place for a short stay. They insisted that my family member needed special care, but we disagreed. They were quite expensive. The place itself was nice, though.

"AlmaVia feels like home, welcoming and well-kept."
AlmaVia feels like home right away. The staff is welcoming and professional. The apartments are spacious, and the grounds are clean with plenty of spots to sit indoors and outdoors. Hallways are clear, bathrooms are clean, and the dining area is bright and happy. They offer a lot of activities, have social areas, and even a room for all faiths. It truly feels like home.
