Sarah was kind, friendly, and very informed. We loved Courtyard, but unfortunately we are looking for a two-bedroom unit which Courtyard does not have.

Was looking for assisted living for a loved one and toured Courtyard because it's nearby. The team there is great. They're compassionate, they take their time with the residents, and you really get the sense that they care for every one of them. The community itself presents really well: clean, nicely decorated, everything is kept up. The memory care (which is what I was looking at) is well laid-out. I'd definitely recommend checking them out.

Review for The Courtyard at Sussex

Overall, I am impressed with the environment and services provided, leading me to assign a top-tier rating for the support my friend [name removed] has received. It has been incredibly reassuring to observe how smoothly and comfortably she has integrated into her new living situation. The apartment itself is generally well-appointed and provides a pleasant living space. However, a recurring observation pertains to the notable absence of sufficient storage options. Enhancing this particular feature could significantly elevate the daily convenience and comfort for residents. Regarding the culinary offerings, while the meals are acceptable, I believe there's considerable scope for enhancement. A greater focus on variety, taste, healthier choices, and perhaps presentation could transform the dining experience from merely satisfactory to genuinely delightful. I must commend the staff without reservation. Every individual we have encountered has consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism, genuine kindness, and an unwavering helpfulness. Their dedication and supportive approach have made an immense positive difference.

What we like the most about the community is that it is a self enclosed community, stand alone building bright wide hallways, places to gather, light in all rooms from the courtyard. And a closed hallway in a rectangle that surrounds the courtyard. Perfect for residents who want to walk/ wander without having to be continually redirected.
