My dad recently moved into the Independent Living and is loving the new change to his life. All the staff has been amazing. Answered all our questions, helped with questions about the apartment and very easy and willing to assist him. I would strongly encourage other families to bring their loved ones to Thornecrest!

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. The facility is beautiful and has many great things to offer. The staff is very friendly and comforting. I am thankful to have such a strong community to trust my dad in their care.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
