The Seasons of Saxonburg

4.5
This facility went out of their way to put up guide signs, etc. to assist Mom in staying 'independent' (not on dementia floor) as long as possible. They were also very aware of her signs of progression and took as much time as we wanted to discuss things with us.

Magnolia Place of Saxonburg

5.0
Very kind and knowledgable. We picked this community because they offered a locked dementia unit. I would recommend to others.
