Great Facility!

Markham has been a blessing for our family. From the moment we toured the facility, we were impressed by how clean, bright, and inviting it is. The caregivers genuinely care about the residents and always have a smile on their faces. My brother loves the social activities and has made so many friends. It's a relief to know they are happy and well-cared for.

Markham House is a warm, welcoming, and well-managed community that truly stands out in assisted living. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the care and dedication of the staff. They go above and beyond to ensure residents feel at home while receiving the assistance they need. The facility itself is clean and thoughtfully designed, with spacious rooms and cozy common areas. The staff takes great care to plan engaging, diverse, and meaningful events that cater to various interests, from exercise classes to arts and crafts to live entertainment. There's always something happening to keep residents active and connected.

Their dedication to creating a safe and nurturing environment is evident in everything they do. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such an amazing place and to have these remarkable individuals become a part of my life. This community is truly a blessing, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a senior living experience filled with kindness, support, and excellence.

Excellent place for your loved one

My family member passed away after spending six weeks in Markham House. It was a much shorter time than we expected. She had many challenges, but she rose to them. The staff were absolutely outstanding supporting her all the way these people just don’t know how to fake sincerity well they are sincere and empathetic and kind and very caring. She did not want to pass away in a hospital and she didn’t have to everyone in our family is grateful for Markham House and for the experience our family member had there

Review for Markham House Assisted Living

Best small assisted living. My mother is blind and now so many people know her in the community. She has found comfort when she needed it. At 94 she can recognize people by their voices and can get around on her own mostly. There is a lot of respect for her ability. And her intelligence. I'd recommend Markham House to anyone.

Markham House - Lovely, Needs a Generator

We're very happy with Markham House. They do need to make an investment in a back-up power system to keep the electricity/heat running during prolonged power outages. When the power goes out, the elevator to the 2nd floor is out of commission. This is Day 3 without power at Markham House, and I am at this moment in a hotel, caring for my elderly mother.

My mother is blind and hard of hearing. Everyone has been so helpful and kind. The staff makes sure she gets to whatever activities she can enjoy. And check up on her regularly. The facility is so easy to navigate. The dining room attendants know what my mother prefers to eat and have it ready for her. She's made friends there and really loves living at Markham house. As a daughter I am delighted with everything there. It's a special place

Markham house was not a secure facility and they were worried that my loved one would wander off. Overall, the tour guide was great.

Wonderful, Caring Senior Living

My brother was a resident at Markham House. This facility couldn't have been better. Of course, it was before Covid, but they were wonderful. I basically lived there while my brother was in his final stages. He passed away there peacefully, under their care. I couldn't be more grateful! I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

I had a wonderful recovery from knee replacement

What I really liked about Markham House were the people and the peace. I would like to add a library and a more colorful gardens, with lots of bulbs. However based on my experience so far I would definitely recommend this community to other families.

I toured this community. The facility and staff were great. The population just seemed generally older and in need of more day to day assistance. Not quite what we were looking for as far as our loved one's needs, but still a nice place!

Would Recommend

My loved one enjoyed working with the nurses. I would recommend this community to anyone. They were able to assist my loved one here. The dining room was open for the residents during some of their stay here. The communication was great between the staff and I.

nice place, small community

When we started it was way better. The prices went up and quality went down. I would advise families to balance their expectations in what a small staff community can deliver. Most of the residents are challenged with small kind of memory loss, and it is hard to to care for residents who have lost their capabilities and memory I think the staff were exemplary when we started but the staff are under amazing pressure and it has effected the care.

Turn back now

We had our mother here for several months. I would NOT recommend this place under the current management. All they care about is filling rooms/money - this is evident by them not spending money on caregivers when they need to, in order to fulfill the needs of the residents; which means the caregiving we experienced was horrible in the last few months we were at Markham. We watched the facility steadily go down hill. I will say that there are a handful of staff that are caring wonderful people, but are being pushed out by the terrible management! It's such a shame. The GM may seem nice and that she cares - but beware. Stay away from Leisure Care.

Our Visit Here

I liked this place when we had the tour. I thought they were a good community. We had a good lunch with them and it came down to my mom. It was based on how they interacted with her. It would have been a good pick and I saw nothing jarring. It just wasn't the right fit for her.

We are happy with this community.

I like that this community has independent living and assisted living residents that are able to interact with each other. They have a wide variety of social interaction. The community is beautiful and it is not overly large. The staff is accommodating and I have good communication with them. The food is great and they offer plenty of activities. I would recommend this community.
