Residential Care Home
This community was very nice we had chosen it because it felt a little homier than others we had looked at. The staff is very nice and caring and we have good communication with them. In fact, it was them that brought it to our attention that mom was going to need hospice and they were going to take care of that for us. Mom is completely wheelchair bound now to the point where they need to deliver her meals to her room. The price wasn't any more expensive than others we looked at. My brother and I feel very confident in the choice we made and we know that she is receiving the best care she can get being there.
This was THEE place for my mom. They are very caring with everyone. It’s a small center and my mother received outstanding care all the way til her recent passing. [Name removed] is the heart of facility. She went above and beyond the call of duty. She stayed with my mom through the night while she was in hospice care and was with her until my mom’s last breath. I can’t say enough about her and the staff (especially [name removed]). I am grateful to the staff and the other residents who my mother met.
