Reviews Thorne Crest Senior Living Community
May 2024
I was pleasantly surprised by all the amenities included with a package. I honestly can not think of one more service any one could need or want. They've covered it all! So bright, cheerful and clean, are important to me. Even though it is independent living, you have all the opportunities to partake in as everyone else. Thank you Catherine for your time, so appreciated. Linda Petersen

My father moved to thorncrest in April. He is getting the care he needs for this time of his life. The family was able to share mothers day in one of the common areas. The staff are very respectful and provide great care. I am thankful that we chose thorncrest for this journey of his life.
May 2023
My family is very pleased with the care, professionalism, and kindness that Thorne Crest staff have shown during the move-in process. Catherine is amazing, and has been with us every step of the way. Everyone has been attentive and friendly-from the front desk attendant to the maintenance staff. We are so blessed to know that our family member is in a safe, caring, and beautiful environment.

My dad recently moved into the Independent Living and is loving the new change to his life. All the staff has been amazing.

Thorne Crest has been nothing but a great experience from the beginning. They were very quick to respond with initial questions as well as getting my dad moved in as quick as possible.

What a wonderful relief to have not only one, but both of my parents residing at Thorne Crest. The continuous supportive and responsive staff is comforting (and so appreciated) - and the heartwarming manner in which they treat everyone is amazing.

Both of my parents are currently at Thorne Crest. The staff has been very helpful to our family in navigating the various challenges of moving them both during a difficult time and we are extremely grateful for their guidance. They've been patient and resourceful and very caring. Catherine has definitely gone out of her way to make the transition smooth. Our grandmothers also resided at Thorne Crest and received excellent care.
September 2020
We are very happy with the care our parents have received at Thorne Crest. The staff was super kind and supportive during Moms final illness. And theyve made the independent living apartment a true home for Dad. Cant say enough how grateful we are.

My mom has lived in independent living at Thorne Crest for almost 2 years. It has been a great experience for our family and provides us with peace of mind. She has been able to get onsite PT, OT as needed, has enjoyed activities with her friends and staff members, especially Laurie, have been very kind and helpful to her. Her apartment is beautiful and very comfortable for her.

August 2020
The staff at Thorne Crest are amazing. They are respectful, compassionate, empathetic, and caring towards our residents. During this pandemic time, the staff is doing everything they can to protect them from the virus. They are true super heroes without a cape but with eye protection, masks and the whole PPE equipment. Thank you for everything you do.
August 2020
ThorneCrest staff contributed to my mom having 7 especially happy years in her independent apartment. Her daily pool exercise class with Leah was a highlight. She was happy with her meals, the activities and field trips (all pre-covid), and especially her apartment and lovely courtyard.
August 2020
Outstanding facility.
August 2020
Thorne Crest warmly welcomed my parents during this pandemic. The staff accommodated all of their moving needs with ease. They promptly assisted with picture hanging and additional grab bars. Satisfying meals are enjoyed in small groups making conversation opportunities possible. Morning exercise class has improved moms mobility and stamina. Hall walks have increased dads strength. Thorne Crest is now their new home!
August 2020
My parents received such a warm welcome when they moved to Thornecrest a few months ago. Due to the special circumstances that have arisen due to Covid, the staff members have been doing an outstanding job of keeping their lives as satisfying, safe, and normal as they can. Mom and Dad tell us how kind and willing to help the staff members in all departments have been. As family members, we are so appreciative each time an issue comes up, and we are told, We can take care of that for you! . We are amazed how quickly Mom and Dad have adapted to this new chapter in Assisted Living, and know without a doubt that we chose the right place for them to call home.
August 2020
Thorne Crest is very clean facility and they have beautifully designed their rooms with quality materials and craftsmanship. I would have given Thorne Crest a 5, 5 star rating but my 4, 5, was for the blowing noise to the heating and cooling system, which is typical in apartment style living. Throne Crest has an amazing heated, salt water pool and the class offerings for the residents is hard to to beat. Most importantly, the entire staff at Thorne Crest are caring and kind and really do seem to enjoy the work they do!
June 2020
Thorne Crest is a great place to work. Very caring staff that goes the extra mile for each other as well as residents.
March 2020
Very caring and dedicated staff. Extremely safe environment with a lot of fun and varied activities for the residents. Highly recommend!
