A testimonial from Katie

“All the employees and staff at this facility are so friendly and smiley! You walk in and they definitely do a good job with conversation and making you feel welcomed in their home. My mother is in the memory care here and she says she’s treated well and wished she would have came in sooner to enjoy it a little longer. Definitely somewhere I would recommend!
