“My mother, Hazel Lance, was a resident of Governor's Bend until she passed. She was never treated like a patient but was always treated like she was part of their family. That is where she wanted to be and I had great peace of mind knowing that she was always cared for by a loving and caring staff. Kimberly and Melissa were her two favorites.”

“Our family was very pleased with the care that our loved one received at Governor’s Bend. As a resident there for over 6 years, we came to know the staff as family and our loved one never once asked to leave. The staff were very attentive. They were professional, yet kind to all the residents. I would highly recommend Governor’s Bend for assisted living care!”
