There are no amount of stars that are sufficient to accompany this review. There are no amount of words that say enough about the owners of Abel Care, Marius and Simona. I met them through relatively sad circumstances. My father-in-law was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2019. After years of in-home care, my mother-in-law made the difficult but necessary decision to seek out additional care. When I went for my first visit in March, my emotions were drawn to their two polarities. Deep sadness for what my loved one was going through, and a deep sense of happiness, and gratitude upon meeting Marius and Simona. In the subsequent months, and over many visits, I saw first hand, their commitment to their guests (residents and family/friends of residents). I was blown away by seeing home cooked meals. I was taken back at how much their children engaged with the residents. Side-note: these children will no doubt grow up to be exceptional humans. I have rarely seen at such a young age the levels of compassion and empathy from these kids, no doubt, learned from their parents. Even the dog (Sophie) was quiet and calming. My father-in-law passed recently, which is heartbreaking. If you haven't been witness to it; Alzheimer's is a sad and seemingly cruel disease. A challenging process was made easier with the help of the good people at Abel Care. When Marius and Simona step out, they have exceptional care givers enter the home and care for the residents. It seems cliche to give something 10 stars out of 5, but cliche or not, there are no amount of stars sufficient to what I have witnessed. Whether it is for a loved one, or for you, the end of life should be a warm and dignified place, with a peaceful last chapter. That is what Abel Care provides. In my time with Marius and Simona, I shamefully tried to learn Romanian. They were gracious in my failings and patient with their teachings. As they became family in my life, I learned the same words that I said to my father-in-law....Te iubesc (I love you). Although, I don't have a resident to see anymore at Abel Care, I will be going back to visit Simona and Marius, and you should too.

Our family cannot say enough wonderful things about Abel Care and the loving care that Marius and Simona provide to my husband, Neil. From the moment Neil moved into Abel Care, he was welcomed as part of their family. This is not just a care home—it is a true home where every resident is treated with dignity, respect, patience, and genuine love. What makes Abel Care especially special is that the entire family is involved. Marius and Simona’s children are wonderful with all of the residents. They spend time with them, talk with them, make them smile, and treat them like grandparents. Their kindness and compassion create a warm family atmosphere that you simply cannot find in larger facilities. Another thing that makes Abel Care so special is the wonderful home-cooked meals. Marius and Simona prepare hearty, nutritious meals with fresh vegetables, homemade soups, and foods that make residents feel at home. Mealtimes are not just about eating—they are about family, conversation, and connection. Families are always welcomed and encouraged to join their loved ones for meals, creating a warm and inclusive environment that means so much to both residents and their families. One of our favorite things is seeing Sophie, their sweet dog, spend time with the residents. Sophie often sits on Neil’s lap, bringing him comfort and companionship. Watching his face light up during those moments means the world to our family. Our children and grandchildren love visiting Abel Care because they can see firsthand how much Marius and Simona truly care. Every time we visit, Neil is clean, comfortable, well cared for, and treated with kindness. We always feel welcomed and included. As Neil’s Alzheimer’s disease has progressed and he is now receiving hospice care, Marius and Simona continue to provide exceptional support, not only to him but to our entire family. Their compassion, patience, and dedication give us peace of mind every day. We are incredibly grateful to have found Abel Care. If you are looking for a loving, family-centered home for a loved one with memory care needs, I wholeheartedly recommend Abel Care. Marius, Simona, their children, and even Sophie have created something truly special. With heartfelt gratitude, Judy Burgess and Family

My father was taken such good care at this facility. He was always safe and loved by staff Marius and Simona and their beautiful family. I would recommend any family who are in their chapter of life with aging loved ones who light need assistance. I would give 10 stars if possible ❤️ Thank you so much

Abel Care is such a warm and comfortable home. You can see how much care and attention Marius and Simona give to my mother and to all of the residents. There is such a pleasant aura with children playing, music, compassionate interactions, and great food. I am so grateful for Marius, Simona, their wonderful children, and the staff.

Abel Care (Marius and Simona) have been such a blessing in caring for my mother, who has Alzheimer’s. The delicious home cooked food, family environment with their children interacting with residents and their loving, caring and respectful manner with residents and family members is amazing. My mother was previously at a large dementia care center for almost two years, which towards the end could not meet her needs. She’s been at Abel Care since December 26, 2024 and the care she receives is outstanding. Our family trusts Marius and Simona and their capable staff and I feel they treat and care for her like they would their own parents. I highly recommend Abel Care. The photo with their youngest daughter loving on my mother and sitting in her lap is a daily occurrence and one of the reasons my mother smiles, feels safe and comfortable at Abel Care.
