2 July 2026-My wife and I made it on campus for the Johnson Hall Big Pour. While we missed the first drop, a current resident filled us in on that exciting moment, occurring at 4:30am. A Project Manager was also onsite, he answered all subsequent questions. The Waiting List is more enlivened within our heart's 💖 when we are onsite. Enjoy during the Winter too.

My parents are in Deerfield. I hope in many years I will be as well. The staff is so friendly. The residents are amazing. I am so happy to have the piece of mind that my parents will be well taken care of the rest of their lives.
