The facility’s environment is characterized by cleanliness, peaceful surroundings, and décor intended to create a welcoming atmosphere.
Ardent Care offers a range of specialized care and support services. Residents have access to assistance with all activities of daily living, including full support with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. The community provides care tailored for residents with memory impairments, featuring a secured environment and layouts designed specifically to accommodate those with memory loss. Memory care is a central focus, and the facility serves as a memory-care-only community. In addition to daily living assistance, Ardent Care supports residents who require diabetes management, incontinence care, and medication management. Podiatry services are available on-site.

Based on resident and family feedback, reviews of Ardent Care are mixed. Families often appreciate the facility’s cleanliness, attentive staff, and the calm, pleasant environment. Many note that residents are generally content and engaged in available activities, with staff described as professional and helpful, especially upon move-in or during tours. However, some concerns are reported regarding the facility's consistency in handling more complex behavioral needs and communication from administration. Occasional issues such as lost belongings, inconsistent care following admission, and a quieter atmosphere with less visible resident socialization outside group activities are noted.
