“Homestead of Shawnee, Assisted Living is a great place for when your loved one can no longer live on there own. They have great activities for the residents a family members. The staff is very caring and loving to the residents.”
“My wife has been at Golden Hearts almost 3 months and so far I have been pleased with her care and for the most part the staff, although I wish there were female staff on weekends. I love the musicians that come Monday thru Friday to entertain, it is a real blessing. Overall I give Golden Hearts an A-.”
“We were very happy with the facility during our visit. It was clean, food smelled very good & everyone was friendly. Especially Susan our tour guide. Loved a visit with Bubbly Julian, the activities director.<br>Our personal issue is it is too high priced for us. But everywhere is. So that isn’t site specific.”
