I am a new assisted living home owner in Sherman, and I feel very fortunate to have learned from Ruth at Dear Friend Residential Care Home. Ruth is not only knowledgeable and experienced, but also incredibly patient and generous in sharing what she knows. She guided me through real-world details of operations and, more importantly, how to care for residents with compassion and dignity. Her passion truly sets her apart. This is not just a business for her — it’s something she genuinely cares about. From one owner to another, I can confidently say she sets a high standard in this field. I truly believe every resident in her home is in very good hands. — Owner, Happy Sunflower Cottage

Marvels D.F R as I love to call it are absolutely 💯 amazing Superheroes in the health industry. I paid a visit to this facility firstly with a friend that had their Mother resident there. From the welcome, attention to detail and patience i saw in them it's a YES for me. My friend is a handful but for once he had nothing negative to say but to agree with me taking Mum there was the best thing ever. If you looking for a place were patients are treated as Kings and Queens Marvel's D.F.R is truly the place to take your loved ones. You need to have 7Stars on your reviews they deserve it. Ruth the facilities owner or Head of staff is an angel on earth, you need to visit to believe!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this memory care home. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth and genuine compassion of the entire team. Every staff member goes above and beyond to ensure residents are treated with dignity, respect, and kindness. It’s clear that they are not only highly trained, but also truly passionate about the care they provide. The level of attentiveness is exceptional. The staff takes the time to get to know each resident personally, understanding their needs, preferences, and routines. Their thoughtful approach brings comfort not only to the residents, but also to families who want peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in good hands. I am especially impressed by how thorough and detail-oriented the team is. Communication is consistent and clear, and any concerns are addressed quickly and with genuine care. It never feels like you’re just another family—they truly make you feel seen, heard, and supported. In addition to the outstanding care, the facility itself is immaculate. The cleanliness and upkeep are top-notch, creating a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment. Overall, this memory care home sets a high standard for what compassionate, quality care should look like. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place where their loved one will be truly cared for and valued.

That is the most wonderful place you can find for your loved ones. Ruth is outstanding in giving people personal care and giving them back their human dignity. My wife spend the last few months of her life there. She felt well there and was taken care of. Ruth works with all institutions, takes care of everything and has always good advice about what to do and who to further contact. She has an excellent reputation everywhere. A skilled and professional nurse and the most pleasant person you can imagine. If you can get a place for your loved one there, look no further. You won't find a better place than this. Your loved one is in good hands and it will make a difficult and stressful time easier for you. I wish my wife would have found a place like that for her mother 25 years ago. Outstanding.

I would give 10 stars if I could! The last 3 months of Scott's life were with Ruth her son (Lewin) and her careing caretakers. Lewin would come in to see Scott everyday after school and greet him with "hi Mr Scott" and chat. Sweet boy who was raised right. I would highly recommend Ruth's house to anyone looking for a group home for their loved one. Knowing Scott was so well taken care of not only helped Scott be comfortable and safe but helped me tremendously knowing he was comfortable and safe when I would be home at night. Scott made a friend (Eddie) while he was there. That was so nice to see. Great food too!
