“During my mother's stay I found the stay to be very caring,treating her like she was family. The therapists did a good job of helping her achieve things she didn't think she could. The director and nursing director were always visible and handled any worries or needs in a timely manner. I want to thank them all for what they did for my mother.”

★★★★★Evelyn Henderson · 2025-11-03 · via Google

“Nice place, the staff didn't disappoint, they took their time to explain everything to me. Debbie Lewis took care of everything for me in getting my brother placed. I felt comfortable leaving my brothe with them and I know he's in good hands. Thank you Terrace!!!!”
