Resident & family reviews
The staff and in fact the complete organization from management to the CNA's and maintenance people make this a place that is pleasant, friendly and offers the best of care. Two friends were there for skilled care after leaving the hospital and found the friendly atmosphere to be exceptional (both lived in other assisted living facilities). The Main Street with shops and even a pub make one feel like they are part of life again with many social opportunities. This Sr. living business is a hidden gem. Their slogan is "You'll live better" is no lie.

NewAldaya lost ALL of our mother's belongings when she had to go to the hospital. Four nice and special tee-shirts/sweatshirts, 4 pants, sweater, nice Duffle Bag, all socks and a Special Gift from my dad. Total lack of respect for one's belongings. Poor management staff, finance department did not even try to help my sister keep my dad and mom together, we went elsewhere. We were told by unprofessional staff in Laundry that we could go look through 100's of clothes for mom's belongings. Did not get the Welcome Kit, clothes were not marked, Head of Nursing Staff did not even know what mother was in there for yet called us in her office to ask dad and all the information when we were tired and stressed. My sister are professional compassionate individuals and do not like to complain. However, the lack of consideration for us and our mother's belongings were very painful and unprofessional. Poor Management!
