A place run by Karens. Upper management is elitist and snooty who look down on floor staff. Bottom of the barrel nursing facility that hires bottom of the barrel staff who arent qualified to take care of people with Alzheimers and Dementia. They cant keep anybody and are always hiring but they dont want to hire anyone with experience.

What a great, professionally run Assisted Living Community offering great care. My mother in law stayed there for a time. She was loved on and they figured out her meds quickly as the place before that she had been in could not get it right. What a huge relief that they fixed it within days. Thanks Ganzhorn, Deborah and Anne for taking care of her so well!

Wonderful management team and staff. My mother-in-law was staying in a dementia wing of another community but they could not "handle" her. Ganzhorn's acuity to take on difficult patients was so much higher. After working with her for only a few days, all of a sudden her hard to deal with tendencies began to subside. I think with the changes to medications they helped implement (didn't just want to "snow" my mother-in-law with meds) and proper redirection by the staff, she began to thrive. Love this place!

As a healthcare professional who works closely with the residents and staff at The Ganzhorn Suites, I cannot recommend them enough. Each and every staff member goes out of their way to assist residents, families and healthcare professionals feel at home throughout their days. The staff always have smiles on their faces, and it is evident they enjoy… interacting with their residents. The staff at Ganzhon Suites provide round the clock compassionate care to everyone they come in contact with. If you, or your loved one, are looking for a new place to call home, do not hesitate to reach out
