When Mom had to leave her home, we were lucky to find a 2nd family that took her in, treated her with respect, kept her engaged in fun activities and safe in a caring new home. Mom quickly realized that she wasn't lonely. BCE is the absolute BEST nursing home to go to LIVE until you pass. We should all want our loved ones to be able to enjoy their final years that they worked hard to get to. Everyone is amazing and caring!
