Fremont Hills

If you’re looking for peace of mind, this is the place to bring your loved ones. The care team are kind hearted and take good care of the residents. All the residents are well cared for, their clothes are kept clean and washed and beds are made daily. Residents always look neat and tidy. My husband, who lives in the memory care neighborhood, brags about the food that is served. He says it’s the best he’s ever had. There are a lot of activities to keep them busy my husband loves the music acts, you’ll find him singing and whistling along. I highly recommend Fremont Hills.
