“We are appreciative of the care our loved one received while she lived at Sugar Loaf. The staff were amazing and communicated with us - still friends of ours to this day”
“Sauer is the best healthcare facility I've been in. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is friendly and helpful. The rooms are cheerful and kept clean. Should I become so disabled that I could not care for myself, I would choose Sauer in which to "retire".”
