I live at here at Manor at Market Square and I really like it! The people are all wonderful. It’s a pleasure living here. I feel very lucky to have a second family!

My wife and I have been residents of The Manor @Market Square for more than 6 months and we are pleased with the facilities, the staff and dining. One of the benefits for us has been the fact that we can share an apartment even though we each have different healthcare needs. Independent Living vs. Personal Care.

The aides and Housekeeping are kind & friendly but the Director and medical staff are terrible! When he 1st moved in 3 years ago, the director, Mary, was excellent and took care of things. Three Directors later, and this place has gone down terribly. My husband is in Assisted Care so I pay a HEFTY monthly charge and he doesn't receive the care I am paying for. Today, when he fell and had open wounds on his knee and foot, they didn't even have bandages for it. This is NOT the 1st time this has happened. I can't blame the medical staff too much if they're not even given the supplies! Totally…

Pleasant staff, roomy apartment

They have nice people/employees my dad reports good food. Communication to families could be improved a bit. Yes I would recommend this facility to others. Ultimately, of all the options my dad and I toured, it was the place my dad liked the most. The place he felt most comfortable and the most like home. And for my dad, the MOST important aspect-it had the best food!

We toured The Manor at Market Square. The people were very nice and helpful, and they answered all our questions. It seemed like a caring place. The staff was very good, and she contacted me later, and we talked. It was very clean. The people were sitting in the lobby watching TV, and it seemed like a very nice place.

Manor at Market Square is definitely one of our community's "Hidden Gems". From our very first tour day, to the day I moved my grandmother's things out, The staff were nothing but amazing and helpful. My 97 year old grandmother lived in independent living there from the end of October until she passed, in March. I liked that if she would need personal care at any point, she could remain in the same room and not need to move again. She enjoyed the size of her private room and having a kitchenette with lots of storage. She had assistance, for a small fee, with the laundry, which was a blessing to me. The Executive Director, Carol Stephens even did her laundry herself one day when my grandmother got confused about the correct laundry day, just to make her feel less anxious. She was really cared for by staff, even as an independent resident. In her final days, the Resident Life Director, Stephanie Ziegler noticed changes with her while doing a daily wellness check, when my grandmother didn't leave her room. Stephanie facilitated getting a urine order sent and medication ordered with the doctor. Then a few weeks later, I inquired about hospice. By the next day, she was on hospice and receiving the care she needed. Fortunately and unfortunately, all of this happened on a Friday. I was unable to get her placed on personal care until Monday, so I had the opportunity to stay with her all weekend during her last few days, caring for her. Several staff members went above and beyond, providing me with meals and sitting with her while I left for 2 hours to take care of my family duties at home. By Monday, Stephanie coordinated with hospice, the doctors and the facility, and got her label as personal care. That gave me the peace to be able to leave for a night, knowing she would be well-cared-for while I got a few hours of sleep. My grandmother passed the next morning. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the facility and the people who work there. So many people exceeded my expectations from move in until move out. I highly recommend this community to anyone who is looking for a fantastic place to live.

Lots of activities and a great staff. Would absolutely recommend Manor at Market Square to anyone looking for a friendly, safe, and well-kept environment for their lived ones. You can breathe easily, knowing they are well taken care of.
