Fox Trail at Princeton has been amazing for our family. When our loved one has a rough day or night Delta and her team take the time to bring comfort and reassurance and always follow up with an update. That level of personal care and compassion makes all the difference. We know our loved one is in the best hands here.
It has truly been a blessing to find Fox Trail Memory Care Living at Princeton for our mom. The care that Kimberly and her staff provide is second to none. Especially during quarantine, the steps taken to keep mom and the other residents safe from COVID-19 was above and beyond my expectations. The company shut down visitation ahead of state mandates and take all precautions as they start allowing some outdoor visitation. It was one of the best decisions we could have made for our mom's Alzheimer's care.
I could not have found a better home for my mom. I say home, because that is exactly what it is to the residents. There is nothing about this center that feels like a hospital or an institutional facility. It is clean, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. I love that the staff who care for the residents, are also preparing their meals. It’s very much like having extended family caring for our family members. I have nothing but positive feelings towards this experience. So grateful to the staff for taking such good care of my mom.
I had wonderful experience at Princeton Memory Care living as they took care of my mother. I had never experienced such wonderful hands-on care from a regional, Robyn, she was attentive, reliable, and professional in all aspects of her duties. I never worried leaving my mother in her hands, and I without Robyn I would not have kept her there for as long as I did. She made my mother’s last year’s of life comfortable and gave my whole family peace of mind. When we found out Robyn was leaving the company we were very disheartened for the other residents. Robyn is a great asset and a huge loss for Memory Care living. I wish Robyn well, she has very big shoes to fill. Thank you Robyn and the Memory Care employees for everything.
