My mom has been at Andara in the independent living section for about a year and a half. I looked at every facility imaginable as she is very particular. This is a wonderful place. A really nice group of people working here and living here. Beautiful apartments( real apartments with upscale appointments), lots of activities and they really try here to get everyone involved. Very few assisted living units, however. Really for the parent that is missing socialization, wants the best, and can still get around on their own.
