Because my own home would be better, I didn't give 5 stars. The meals are good, the help is helpful and friendly and most everyone calls me by my first name. I'm forgetful and was unable to cook for myself so this is ideal for me and I have 2 family members living within 12 miles so I can get personal help if I need to. When I need assisted living its right here across the street. I also have a sister in assisted living.
It was more homey than [community name removed]. There were a couple of ladies there who tried to make friends with mom, that was nice. I am not sure we would recommend this community to others, it would maybe depend on the health of the person going in and if that person would be willing to participate in the activities Then it would be an okay place to stay better than [community name removed]but not as nice as [community name removed]. As I remember the time when mom was there , there would be a lot of pros and cons
Shortly after my mom moved into green place my husband and I felt like we had become part of a big family and not like mom was just another patient in a nursing home. Green place really made us all feel special and heard. I would recommend green place to anyone. They really care about the people that live there like there own.
