Mom has been a resident of ThorneCrest for over 2 years in assisted living and memory care. She has received the best care possible. The staff, both medical and administrative, are competent and caring. During this time Covid has offered many challenges which they have handled competently and swiftly, keeping the residents and staff safe while allowing family contact. I would 100% recommend ThorneCrest for anyone needing assistance for health or age related issues.

One call to Catherine Buboltz, Director of Sales and Marketing, one private tour and my 93 year-old mother asked to fill out paperwork for an independent living apartment! There were no “hard sale” tactics, only a caring voice that pointed out all the amenities offered by Thorne Crest! From the minute you go through the front door, it feels like home! I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff, no one walked by without giving a friendly greeting to you! If staff knew your name, they called you by name! By the time M... read more

My mother loves being at Thornecrest Senior Living. She continues to tell us how wonderful everyone is and how good they take care of her.

We definitely feel we have made th... read more

Living at Thorne Crest was a very good choice for us. We both got busy selling our home. We were made to feel very welcome by the staff and residents, all friendly and most helpful, which made us feel at home quickly. My husbands health began to fail and we were able to have him stay in our apartment for his last days. Our daughters were able to stay with us and the staff was very supportive, providing medical help and supplies. We are very satisfied with our apartment and all the services that are provided. The meals a... read more

My mother came to the nursing care unit at Thornecrest after a fall where she broke her hip & arm. We then viewed the apartments. Thorne Crest had to offer & decided on one. After 4 weeks in the care unit mom was told she was being discharged. With only a weeks notice Catherine was told we needed the apartment ready. She had the carpet layers installing new carpet, painting, handle on the bed, & everything ready for mom. A very smooth transition.
