My mom moved into South High Senior Living. I can't think of anything that I don't like. It's been nice. It's a nice place. My mom's apartment is spacious. She has a large bathroom. It's up-to-date and clean. The food is fine. They had a dining room, a kitchen, and a great room that's got a huge-screen TV. It's decorated pretty. From the dining room, it goes outside to a patio that's got tables and umbrellas. And then they've got little things that they can grow. I love their staff. Their staff is nice. They've got some good people working there. The facility is pretty new. My mom's room was expensive, but it was a room for herself. And then she moved into a shared room. She and her roommate get along well together.

I toured South High Senior Living. It has a lot of space inside. It's like a fancy hotel, and it's clean. The staff was friendly.

My husband will be moving into South High Senior Living. It was an old high school that they had completely renovated, so it looks like a brand new building. It's very classy and very clean with lots of hardwood and marble. The exterior areas have wrought iron fencing for the patrons. The food is very good. They have lots of activities for the seniors. They have a singing group, a gardening group, and a woodworking group. He is into trivia, and so they have some trivia games, too. They have an ice cream social every Friday, and once a week they get in the van and they take them on a tour or a ride. They are very close to the mountains, so there are all different kinds of places that they can go. The care is very good. He will have a wheelchair accessible shower. The people are very friendly, well trained, and very knowledgeable about dementia.

I toured South High Senior Living. My dad will be moving in there about the 17th of January. Actually, I did a virtual tour and then they gave me a quick peek when I was there in person dropping the check off. They showed me the memory care unit. It was excellent, and it far exceeded my expectations. The staff was well above and beyond. I saw one room physically, and it was gorgeous, it had big windows, everything looked really nice.

South High is more then anything I could have ever dreamed of for my mom. She loves it at South and the staff is wonderful. They are her family away from home. I trust them 100%! Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone!
