My mother was in Assisted Living for just less than a year. She felt welcome and made many new friends in her new home at Roitenburg. At the end, she chose Shalom Hospice so she could remain with her same caregivers. The team we had throughout the year and most importantly, during her time in hospice was exceptional. Her caregivers were there for her and the family at a most difficult time. Many thanks to all at Shalom West!

Do not send your loved ones there, they are money motivated. The nurse prescribed and drugged my loved one to make him seem he needs a lot of help when he doesn’t. This place needs a law suit against them and malpractice against the drs and nurses. Do not use there services.
