“My husband was a resident at BSJ in 2025 for rehab after a broken femur. He had many other major medical issues as well. BSJ went above and beyond my expectations of care in all aspects. I simply cannot express my gratitude enough to all staff for their care of Doug plus their actions/sympathy after his sudden fatal heart attack. I appreciate all of you.”

★★★★★Sheila Severson · 2026-02-09 · via Google

“My friend has been a resident of Shelby Terrace for several years. I continue to be impressed with so many things about the facility, primarily that he receives great care and support and feels the comforts of home. The staff are amazing and residents have a calendar full of activities. It is a wonderful place and I highly recommend without reservation.”

★★★★★E Ryan · 2026-05-19 · via Google
