My loved one is happy.
Caregivers and administrative staff all pitching to do whatever is necessary to make things work smoothly for all the residents. They are all very helpful with any questions. You might be concerned about the right to answer. Those might be wrong immediately. Overall, this is a very friendly place. Best thing I can tell you is my wife is happy. She's safe.

I am just going to keep it easy. 5 on all from my family's perspective. It's a great facility. They have good communication with families, large and accessible out door space, dedicated only to Memory Care which provides some unique benefits in facility lay out and approach

No matter how wonderful the staff and amenities are, it's just a very expensive cost on the family both financially and emotionally.

I think the facility is full. Any vacant rooms are filled in a couple days. There may be a waiting list now. The staff is kind and helpful , they make all residents feel welcome, and usually very upbeat with the resident and responsible person. Special occasion snacks and hors_d'oeuvres are very good!

My mom passed away the day she was supposed to move into the facility and never actually moved in. However, I truly loved the facility and I'm sorry my mom never got to experience it. I love the fact everything was on one floor and they could go wherever they wanted whenever they wanted without restrictions including outside. It was the fact that the entire community was on one floor so there was no elevators, every resident had full access to the entire facility so they didn't feel like they were locked or excluded and so in certain area they also had beautiful French doors leading to the outside where they can sit out back and it was fenced in so they can stroll and not worry about people wondering. It felt like home

I do not really have any experience with the food. The facility is very expensive (as most are). Overall based off of our experience so far, I would recommend Great Falls Assisted Living to others looking for memory care.

Keeping good personnel is a concern in all facilities. The Neighborhood Coordinator is first-rate. [name removed] returns calls quickly . She is caring and experienced. The facility is super clean due to excellent leadership from [name removed], always a smile on his face. The Activity Director (name removed) offers variety and effort. I would highly recommend this facility.

We were very nervous about looking for somewhere to go for my loved one. Here they made us feel very comfortable. We knew that my loved one was being cared for and watched. We also liked that this was all one floor so we felt our loved one was safer. The activity director tries to engage everyone in all of the activities. I would recommend this community.

I think the concept at Great Falls is great, but they need to be more specific on who is in charge of what because that is a gray area. If they were more specific in those responsibilities and roles, the facility would run much smoother.

Great Falls is a great place to be. The atmosphere and the staff make it a great place. The communication with the staff is very, very good. Some of the activities available include arts and crafts, games, and more for the residents to choose from.

For the most part everyone did their job and was friendly. The one person that you didn't get along with there, who was in charge of nursing decided that my loved one needed personal private care nurses, on top of the nurses for my loved one 24 by 7. The nurses on staff were to be taking care of my loved one. I had to let the community know that we would stop having the private nurses on a Sunday, due cost. My loved one died of COVID, and there were a lot of COVID deaths in this community. The health department stepped in to help clean up the community. If I had someone who was blind, I wouldn't take them there. They expect you to pay for private duty nurses, which is outrageous. This is a smaller community, and have enough people on staff to take care of patients. If they can't handle someone who is blind, then they need to say so, before you move in and pay the cost.

We were very blessed to have had our dad at Great Falls Assisted Living. The building and outdoor space is expanisve and perfectly designed with 4 neghborhoods and big walking areas for loved ones with dementia. The nursing care is exceptional and available to families and residents 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Activities run throughout the day to help promote memory, physical activity and happiness of each and every community member. Most importantly is the care, comfort and love provided by each and every staff member. It is clear that those working their have passion and concern for their work that far exceeds job requirements. There are many newer places with the latest electronics; but Great Falls has the most experienced loving staff providing exceptional attention to each and every one of the residents in their community.

Great Falls Assisted Living provides a lovely environment indoors and out. The four neighborhoods offer a family setting. The residents and visitors can co-mingle. They can become friends with each other. The two private gardens are an oasis. Families and friends can visit with each other. The outdoor area offers walkways around three sides of the building with sitting areas. The landscaping is attractive as well.My husband has loved these areas. He told me that I found him a really nice place. The majority of the staff is very loving and caring. Most the staff is open to suggestions and accepting of criticism.

GFAL is an excellent, high quality memory care facility with a dedicated professional staff. My father lived there for over five years and was very well cared for every day. I would highly recommend Great Falls for your loved one suffering from dementia.
