It’s a wonderful home for my friend!

I have visited South High several times - first when my friend’s husband was here and now as my friend has been living here. Every time, I’ve been so impressed with the facility, but even more impressive has been the staff. I’m so glad and thankful that Beulah lives in such a nice place with such nice people. It’s a pleasure to come visit her. Many thanks to all who make this possible.

Perfect Respite Stay

The facility is beautiful, rooms look like nice hotel suites with pretty bed linens, pillows, upholstered comfortable chair, dresser, tv, and coffee bar. Staff is friendly and nurses station is visible in a location where nurses can see residents in the hallway and Common areas. Nice recliners for watching tv. Snacks and drinks available in addition to meals.

Amazing facility

[name removed] is an exceptional ED who genuinely cares about the residents and ensures they are treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. [name removed] is always willing to answer any questions and does so with kindness and a welcoming attitude, which truly makes a difference for both residents and families. The activities program has been wonderful lately. There is always something fun, engaging, and creative happening, and it’s clear how much thought and effort goes into making sure residents stay active,

Safe home away from home

I have only dealt with the memory care unit. But the staff is wonderful, short staffed at times (but that is anywhere you go). It is a little pricey, but I'm happy with the care my mom has been given.

Overall world highly recommend.

The staff was very attentive to our needs. They were eager to provide the best experience possible. Rooms were very nice. Good lighting and spacious. Meals were our only concern. The quality was not what we expected. Eating with our mom was not a good experience. We took her out to eat or brought food in.
