My Dad loves Swan Place. Whenever I speak to him, he can't tell me enough how friendly and caring everyone is at Swan Place. He loves the meals and even after a year of being there, he still can't believe they "They even do my laundry and they keep my apartment clean, too!!" Our entire family has peace of mind that Dad is safe, happy, fed nutritious meals and is in such a loving environment.
We found that the staff are all very friendly at this facility. They answered all of our questions. What we liked best about this facility is that it felt like "Home". I'm sure other facilities would also do a good job of taking care of my loved one, but this one did not have an "Institutional" feel. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.
