reviewed on: 12/26/2012 by A Place For Mom CustomerI was very impressed with the director and Narrows Glen. He was very helpful. On the tour he called residents by name, also staff members. It was not as expensive as I thought, but they do not accept Medicaid which could be important in the long run.

reviewed on: 03/25/2014 by AnonymousI really liked this place. It was important to me to have the 3 levels of care provided; I was impressed with the memory care wing when I toured it. Overall, rooms are decent size, I liked the staff, activities looked good. I liked the way they monitored meds for assisted living with computers and scanned photos. Loved the location! Beautiful grounds. Older building, but well kept. Rooms were the biggest I saw.
