Best Senior Assisted Living facility in town. Highly Recommended!

I placed my mom in memory care at the Lorelton April of last year. This was the most difficult decision I had ever made. I toured many facilities before choosing the Lorelton. Mom recently passed, so she was their about a year and a half. I can not say enough about this facility. Mom became family here. All the staff treated her with love and respect. She became “Mom” to all. All her care givers went well above this just being a job for them. Any concerns I had were addressed immediately by department heads and management. If you are searching for a place for a loved one, give this place a look. I was very happy with placing mom at the Lorelton.

Living at the Lorelton is as close to "living at home" as you will find. The food is good, you have a large selection of room types to choose from. Some apartments have washer/dryers and some have full kitchens. The employees are caring. Just what you want.
