Our family's experience

This is a small home-like facility with 5 residents. Staff provides personalized and compassionate attention to individual needs. The activities help my aunt engage with things that she loves-- singing, walking, crocheting. My aunt loves the food and is gaining weight. She looks forward to meals. [name removed] is very knowledgeable regarding memory care and how to manage the various changes . I'm very pleased and highly recommend the residence.

Nice place, overall!

We're very pleased with how things have gone at Colfax Manor! The facility itself is clean and well kept, and the staff is friendly and do a great job looking out for the residents. There can be a bit of a language barrier, as a few members of the staff have fairly thick accents, but it hasn't been too much of an issue. I really like that they provide a lot of opportunities for activities outside of the community here, which include walks and trips out to local senior centers.

They are doing very well.

It's very clean, and the staff is friendly. They are a good value, and very attentive and responsive. They have a good variety of activities, but they could happen a little more often. I chose them because they were trained for Alzheimer's and dementia care, and they also had some younger residents. I also liked that, it's a small group of only 6 residents, and they all get along well together.
