Grand Emerald Place in South Bend, IN
4.9

I appreciate how friendly everybody is. Most of the time the care is okay. Getting my loved one to keep the fall detector lanyard on her neck has been a challenge, but that's not on them. They have a back patio, and I think they're going to be having a garden. And the inside is pretty nice.

Thanks to everyone for taking such good care of my dad. He has said so many positive things. I really appreciate every one of you!

Kokomo Place

So far the staff have been easy to work with. The activities are very good. They've been good about working with us to get the apartment straightened around. And the care has been pretty good. Although they have some interesting practices - for instance, having three CNAs come to get our loved one ready for bed when usually only one is doing anything and the others are just standing there.
