My mother has been at Venice Green Village for over a year. It gives me peace if mind to know my mother is being well cared for. Her health has actually improved now that she's eating better and gets her medication at the proper times.
I am happy with this community. The best community we have found. The staff are very good with there care . The rooms are alittle small. We like this home atmosphere. They have activities for her, but she does have someone to come and keep her company. I would recommend this community for the outstanding care and value that is received here.
They have been wonderful there. I am a long distance from my uncle so I really appreciate that they keep in regular contact with me about his condition. I'm so glad we found South Port Square. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families
