Covid has made things difficult and [name removed] is not very cooperative sometimes, but the staff is wonderful. I am pleased with her care.

Bonaventure of Lacey Senior Living

4.5
Staff at the top 3 positions turns over often. Other staff are friendly and efficient. Facility is attractive, clean and maintained. They need more options on meals, more seasoning, lunch is the big meal, dinner is lighter, flip this would be better.

My mother has lived at Stillwaters 10 years & Colonial Residence 4 years. They are the best! The facility is maintained beautifully; Colonial has a very home-like feel to it; the staff is always kind & patient. My mom had the beginning of dementia 4 years ago. She's been well cared.
