Signature Pointe is a wonderful facility / community full of loving, caring, fun, wonderful, amazing people. The staff are the best and genuinely care about and love the residents, and vice versa. The staff and residents enjoy each other. It’s truly an amazing thing to be a part of. My father moved there during the summer and I’ve gotten to spend a significant amount of time there. I toured other communities and there was no comparison. I’m truly grateful for signature Pointe and especially for the people who work there. I’m also grateful to have gotten to know so many of the residents. They are truly wonderful and have welcomed my father (and I) with open arms. It just feels good when your there. Thank you all at Signature Pointe.
Read moreI toured Signature Pointe today, and everyone I met was absolutely a breath of fresh air. Between the staff and current residents, you can really tell how happy people are. Very clean when walking the halls, receptionist was very friendly, and it was peaceful. I’ll definitely have my mother here for rehab.
Read moreWe have lived here for over a year and know we made the right decision. What sets it apart are the people and staff. It truly feels like a family, never coke like other places we have been. We visit friends at other communities and are very happy with our decision.
