Grace Morgan House is the BEST! Thank you and all your staff for everything you all did for my sister. I knew the very first day when I came to see the Grace Morgan House that this was the BEST place for my sister. The way I see it….You and your staff gave me and my family an extra 3-4 years with my sister because she was so well taken care of. She was very happy there. She had a great bond with your staff. She Loved the food, and she told me it was all homemade (just like home). I also want to thank you for all the support you and your staff gave to my sister's daughter (my niece) who managed my sister's life from an administrative standpoint. My niece said everyone was so good to her and helpful. THANK YOU Scott and STAFF, you’re all AWESOME!!!!! ???
We picked this community, because t's fairly new and is a nice location. They also had an opening where other places had a 2+ year waiting list. He is very happy there and has made friends and is involved in weekly activities like bingo and left right center.
