Dogwood Estates is where my sister has lived for 3 1/2 years. I love how caring the staff is and all the available activities. You can do as little or as much as you like. The staff treats everyone with respect and ensures their dignity. Plus, this is in her home town! I highly recommend checking into this assisted living if you or someone is ready for a little help in life.

I love this place! My mom has been living here for over a year now and loves it too! The staff is so friendly and loving, the food is awesome, and the other people who live here are very welcoming. The price is well below other facilities we've looked at. Dogwood just has a warm, family homestead feel. When I get to a point in my life where I need a little help and don't want to cook or clean or do my own laundry anymore, this is the place where I'm going to live.

I am very grateful for Dogwood Estates. I have a loved one living there and they take excellent care of her. I tell people it is more like a bed and breakfast than assisted living. The management and staff treat the residents just like family. They have activities for them everyday like crafts, painting, games and theme parties. They have three delicious meals a day and snacks in between meals. I would recommend this place for anyone.
