We went to Granite Hill Estates. We liked it, but it did not have any openings. It was very good, but they had a waiting list for at least a year. I only met with the person that showed us the facility, and he was very good. The facilities are first class. We liked it because it would have been the best location closest to us.

Granite Hill Estates was a new place. What’s really good about this place is the variety of independent living to assisted living to nursing home care. There is a good mix of offering there. Their grounds were the best of all the ones that I saw. The community has a nice setting. It is on a fairly quite rural area. It is pricier than some of the others, but if money is not an object, I think it is worth it. A couple of my friends have relatives that live there and they really enjoy it.

The facility is divided into multiple sections. They have an assisted-living area and a nursing home in the main lodge as well as several duplex villas located on the property but detached from the main facility. The campus is fairly large and covers an area of, I would estimate, around 15 to 20 acres. The facilities in the main lodge are well maintained and are up-scale compared to other facilities. They have multiple small dining rooms as well as a main dining room in the center of the main lodge. The facility also offers a lot of amenities including a swimming pool, salon on site, and craft room to name a few. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable. Some of the staff needs some work on their people skills, but overall, they are above average. They have shuttles to bring people to different locations around the city as well.Overall, this facility is very nice and updated.
