So many of staff here have been with the community for many years! The Chef has been there 15 years! You know the food is good if he is still there. The Med Tech has been there 9 years! The care staff, I saw some had been there over 10 years. All in all, friendly, caring and great care.
My sister has an insurance policy which covers her stay there but she has to pay and then send a bill to her insurance company and then receive the money back we can put it in the bank it would be easier if they would just bill the insurance company. A nurse distributes the medicine to my sister so she gets her medicine on time and does take her medicine so that is good.
The Plaza at Edgemere is a great place! Staff is very helpful and friendly. Adam does an amazing job with the food and restaurants. It has everything a person could want. A beauty salon. A ride to church. Great food. Fun activities. Happy hour. And the building, art and gardens are truly beautiful.
