We recently had to find an Assisted Living facility for our Dad to go to. We saw Amelia Senior Livings great review on World News Health. We met with their Executive Director, Mikel Ardley, for an informative review of what Amelia Senior stood for and offered for services. Mikel gave us a tour of Amelia facility and available rooms. We were extremely pleased with what we heard and saw so we ask to schedule the evaluation required to see what level of care would be needed if he were to come there. They showed up the following day to do the evaluation and got right back to us with what they observed. When my Dad was ready, the Amelia staff efficiently scheduled the transportation and showed up when they said they would. Our Dad was warmly greeted when he arrived. Amelia was accommodating with the move and setting up of his room. Since our Dad has been there he has had remarkable improvements with his health and all of his needs have been genuinely taken care of. They have met and exceeded expectations throughout the whole process. Thank you to Mikel and her entire staff.
