“We are lucky to have these homes right in our area. The staff is so good at understanding Michael, his needs and desires. Michael takes about 20 pills a day and some of them are more critical than others. We feel confident with the staff and nurses that they are dealing with that and his medications are being given correctly. They are on top of it. So that’s huge!”
Ruthann – Michael’s mom

Juanita – Donna’s mom
“They have taken vacations here, and I know one vacation she really liked was Kentucky Lake. I was amazed when they got back and looked at pictures because she was actually on a jet ski. And I don’t think I would ever have imagined her being on a jet ski.
I’m very grateful to the staff, and like I said, they couldn’t be more pleasant. Any time I call – and I’m one that calls all the time – and when I call I expect information immediately, no run-around. I’ve called quite often on her condition and I’ve always gotten the answers right there. So I’m very comfortable.”
Sharon – Mary’s sister
