Our family search

My sister is confined to a wheelchair & has Parkinson's. She is totally dependent on staff to take care of her I have been in the company of the staff & her team, they are wonderful & very kind. I almost didn't recognize her, they put her hair up in a ponytail & she looked wonderful. They are very considerate of her, take excellent care, always clean, dressed every day & they feed her, at the pace she can handle. Our family can now rest assured, she is in good hands. Her apartment is always clean & sheets changed o

Great choice

Nurse [Name removed] was an angel on earth. She has treated my father with respect and has cared for him well during his time there. My only issue was with his frequent falls. At one time, because of a fall, he fractured his ankle. The food was institutional style and the choices were poor. My father passed there[ Date Removed] He was under the care of Hospice

Great experience for our mom

The staff was excellent. They followed through with everything they said they would do. We were very pleased. We also felt the price was reasonable. I have already recommended it to my sister-in-law for her mother in law.
