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!!!!! ???
My mom arrived at Carmel Terrace over two and a half years ago at the age of 97. She will celebrate a 100th birthday there this year. She so enjoys her friends and the wonderful staff at Carmel who watch over and assist her as needed. She loves her bright, cozy apartment and her three delicious meals served each day. She receives regular visits from family and friends, and we always feel so welcome at Carmel. From a social perspective Carmel has provided a new community for my mom after losing her own siblings and friends in recent years. New friendships are always a blessing but today at age 99 they are truly a gift from God. She is comforted by knowing she can ask for help doing the things that aren’t as simple as they were even just two short years ago. Everyone is so understanding and she so appreciates the kindness extended to her by the entire staff. As a daughter, I enjoy peace of mind knowing my mom is safe and in such good hands at Carmel Terrace ... a true blessing.
