“Mom checked in almost two months ago. Mom has dementia and severe falling issues. The staff have been extremely attentive, helpful and kind. More than a few of them have gone the extra mile in taking care of Mom. The whole facility seems very clean and well kept. It’s peace of mind knowing Mom has eyes on her 24/7.”
“My Mom has been a resident at Prosper Fall River for about a year. She just loves it there! They have activities every day, live entertainment, places to sit outside and nice rooms. She says she loves the food and has made lots of new friends. Our family is so happy we helped her make this move! Highly Recommend!!”
