“My girls and I went to deliver flowers to all the clients.... We were treated very kind.”

★★★★★Mark Whitehead · 2024-12-23 · via Google

“Visiting nursing homes is not high on anyone’s list, and placing a loved one is hard for all involved. This facility was warm, clean, and well maintained. But the best review came from the patient I visited. For years he had pled with all “never put me in a nursing home!” But after a brief chat, with his wife by his side, he said, “I like this place! I go to the Cafe for coffee in the morning…”

★★★★★JoEllen Anderson · 2023-03-20 · via Google

“The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and truly want to help their residents have the best life possible. They communicate care of loved ones frequently. They have an automatic messaging system and can send me messages about care, testing, appointments or general info straight to my cell by calls and texts. Building is very clean and odor free. Great place & great people!”
