About This Community

Grace Park has a feel of a French country bed and breakfast. When you choose Grace Park you are choosing a lifestyle! Our beautiful grounds provide opportunities to explore and learn about nature year round, from the wonders of blooming flowers to the formation of icicles! Our Great Room and Country Kitchen offer opportunities to spend family time with YOUR family or our Grace Park family, while cooking, chatting or enjoying entertainment at happy hour.

For those who understand the importance of exercise, our multi-purpose room is used for daily exercise at many different impact levels, while others enjoy the walking paths through the gardens! Blossoms is a full-service salon keeping everyone here “Simply gorgeous!” After selecting the finest and freshest ingredients, our chefs prepare them to perfection and serve them in our beautiful dining room in the most delightful way.

But the heart of the lifestyle happens within our Arts and Entertainment department….

It is a vital program of activities that stimulate residents cognitively, culturally, creatively, psychologically, spiritually and physically and promotes individual and group pleasure and social interaction. It all starts with a monthly calendar that outlines fun, exciting and engaging activities.

I give Grace Park five stars all across the board. I was supposed to take a tour with a different person, but the person I got is actually the owner of the facility. He was fantastic. He's been doing it for such a long time, and he's well educated. The place was clean. Staffing was complete. He gave us the rundown and showed us the rooms. The rooms were all comfortable. He actually even showed us through the kitchen. Everything was clean and organized. They have different events that they do. They have a nice little outside area and it's secure. The owner is always looking at different options and adding to it. The place has come a long way. They've been there quite a while. I'd give that one just definitely a thumbs up for sure. He went over everything, but we just looked at their independent care. They showed us the rooms. They have a place where you can get your hair done. There's a little salon inside there. There's a nurse there that can help with medications and take care of stuff like that. They had an exercise room, arts and crafts, they sit down and they paint, draw and color. There is plenty to do. There's a library, and there's a little sitting room where you can read. They have three meals. They actually have their menu kind of posted on the wall explaining everything that they have and what they do. It's a full working kitchen. They've got staff that's been there since way back. I like the longevity, which obviously we know in today's world that's hard to establish.

Grace Park has more activities than similar residences; food seems to be average. Aides seem attentive to residents. I can see why the theme from employees about Grace Park (rated on Indeed) is "management doesn't know what they're doing." Their communication with family on important issues is appalling and unfortunately they've done a couple things where family and friends wonder "is that even legal?" and other organizations say "yes, that isn't typical for a senior living center to do" so we don't trust Grace Park anymore. They do show they are in the BUSINESS of caring for your loved one.

My mom was at Grace Park and she chose it herself. It was one big building and she had her own room. I liked that they did a lot of activities with the residents and kept them busy. Although I needed to transfer her eventually because they did not have assisted living facility. I would recommend this to other people who could live independently.
