My mom was at Smith Village for over 4 years. I cannot say enough about the love, attention, caring and going above and beyond from their team. On her behalf thank you for the compassion and hard work you put in each and every day....It takes very, very special people to do what you do. God bless you all!

We had to put my uncle here. He lived alone and was forgetting everything. After 3 months, he never looked or felt better. They are wonderful. So caring and understanding. It was a hard decision but it had to be done.
They claim to have a memory care unit. They do not have the knowledgeable staff and lack compassion for residents with Dementia and Alzheimer's disease. When touring the facility do not get caught up in the beauty of the facility or the sales pitch, ask pressing questions. If anyone is educated on the disease, it comes with personality changes, mood swings, agitation and aggressiveness. For Smith, if your loved one displays any of this, they are sent out to the nearest ER for a Psych Eval and they might never be welcomed back! Yes people, your loved one may be stuck in limbo until you find placement again. The halls are not monitored and sometimes you will find no staff around. But be reassured, they have ankle bracelets that set off alarms if they try to escape and wrist bands that if they actually remember to push will tell staff that they need help. We needed to keep on staff to help with daily ADL's for my Dad. Laundry piled up so much that his wife took 3 loads back to her home to clean! If you can imagine how much this disease progresses, and the care your loved one will need, I urge you to look for a facility capable of seeing this disease to the end. God Bless!
This home is not an option if your loved one has Alzheimer's disease. My father stayed here for several months and unfortunately it became evident Smith Village was grossly inadequate to care for him as his Alzheimer's disease advanced. On more than one occasion the Smith Village staff were overwhelmed with the responsibility of caring for him and tragically their solution was to send him to the nearest hospital emergency room - not for medical reasons, but for behavioral reasons that were common among Alzheimer's patients. What made things worse for our family was they did this during COVID-19 which limited our ability to support him and was terribly disruptive to his life - which is the last thing you want to do to an Alzheimer's patient. Once we moved him out of Smith Village to a new/different facility that was properly trained and knowledgable on how to care for Alzheimer's patients his behavior, health, happiness and overall state of mind improved dramatically which has led me to write this review. I would have given one star if not for the fact Smith Village can be adequate for the elderly that are autonomous and self-reliant.
My mother lived here for 2 years in Assisted Living and she absolutely loved it. She regretted not moving in earlier so she could enjoy more years here. Later, when she had a stroke, they took such good care of her in Skilled Nursing. The rehab process here is amazing, also thanks to the people that make up the rehab team. The best thing about Smith Village are the people that work here. They are very, very caring, compassionate and very knowledgeable in the work they do. My family also liked the fact that the facility is very clean and extremely well maintained. There are always updates and freshen-ups going on here. If you are contemplating care for your parent, you owe it to yourself to check the place out and even arrange for a short stay to see if your loved one would like it here. I guarantee that you will be at ease knowing they are in the care of Smith.
