Integrity Esther's Place at Harford in Baltimore, MD
4.8

From the first day of admittance, until his final passing, Esther's Place delivered excellent care for my 96 yr old Brother in law who suffered from Alzheimers & other medical issues. The high level of competence, caring & attention all within a great budget.. I highly recommend Esther's Place to anyone looking to have their loved one cared for in a loving atmosphere..

It's been a 5 for the most part.The staff is very friendly. My friend is social, he's meeting new people and getting to know them. One suggestion is if they could install ceiling fans that would be nice.
