This place is great for functional but challenged guests who need in order of importance: meds, food, housing. They don't provide transportation but are close to bus routes.

Caring, knowledgeable, treated the residents with respect and dignity.

I have a friend who lives is there and he complains about the portion size for that group home to be getting that kind of income they should be feeding their consumers a lot better giving them the portion size of a child for a grown adult is not acceptable otherwise they consumers have fun and do activities I'm just complaining about the portion of food that these poor people are getting in this home

Med control paramount . My brother is fairly independent and able to get to Mosaic house on regular basis. When it comes to the value for cost it is not the Taj majal! However we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far

The administrators of this facility are truly dedicated to caring for senior and handicapped people. Compassionate and competent care is their mission which is very evident to me and my family since our first visit. They provide a safe, clean environment, activities, good meals and assistance with appointments, transportation. They make a point to seek out families during visits to make sure all the residents needs are met and to answer any questions. I am an RN with more then 40 years in acute and LTC. I can honestly say we are so blessed to have found such a great place for my sister. She told me “she loves it here”.This was her 2nd assisted living experience, her first one was not good. Thank you, Morris Pace assisted living.

I recommend that, if your loved one needs a place, that they visit any, "home." I'm told the facility is managed by younger people who are trying to do a good job for the sake of the residents, being such a large place with many demands. I understand that. I hear the pricing is reasonable and my friend who lives there feels safe, which is important, right? There are many residents that have resided in this facility who have been there over a decade, and are happy doing so. The room mates seem to be pleasant, which is important. I'm sure my friend should be there for a couple years, until I can relocate her, as there is no reason for her not to be, RIGHT?? She wants to be there and I want her to be there. No facility would expel someone who hasn't personally done anything wrong. That would be frowned upon by outsiders. Good thing this place is reasonable and will take care of this poor little gal suffering from memory lapses for about two more years. Everyone is happy. This is, now, a win-win situation. I'm glad she won't be relocated, again. Let's move forward. Peacefully, reasonably, amicably. Thank you for your patience.

I, apparently, was gravely mistaken when I posted a scathing review of this delightful place. In further consideration, I've learned the residents, m out of which have been there on extended stays, have been quite happy with this home. I have attempted to remove my posting, but I haven't found an option to do so. I surely wouldn't want my friend to be forcefully removed from this location, as she is vulnerable and, well, that wouldn't be a proper solution, right, folks? I suggest telling me, please, how to edit my first post, so I can erase it, or you folks do it, so there are no problems for anyone in the future concerning her residency, here. My apologies. --Julie

The owner is unbelievably cheap. The food is bare minimum. With the money this guy is making from the residents, all of these things could be greatly improved if he would step up more to make it a better place.
