Shortly after my mom moved into green place my husband and I felt like we had become part of a big family and not like mom was just another patient in a nursing home. Green place really made us all feel special and heard. I would recommend green place to anyone. They really care about the people that live there like there own.
The staff is helpful and friendly. My mom is happy there. I visited 6 or 7 places and this one was the cleanest. I have visited a lot and all the people there seem to be happy
This is an independant living apartment for those 55 and older. Section 8 is accepted, which was helpful. People are always around and it is a locked facility, making it feel safe; plus there is a manager on site. Her apartment is on the 3rd floor and it is pretty hot. They have pot luck dinners occasionally, and the lobby area and community room give the building a sense of community. The front and back porch areas are great too. When we moved her in, we did have to clean as it had not been done after the last tenant moved out.
