We recently moved mom from Ocala, Florida to get her closer to us. Emerald was recommended to us by a placement assistance provider. Mom had been in several ALF and rehab facilities in Ocala, and we had bad experiences with most of them (most were crowded with patients, under-staffed with apathetic and under-paid workers, etc.). The staff at Emerald were very caring and helpful, and treated mom with respect, kindness, and dignity. Irene Mercado and her husband Ronel are personally involved with every resident, and are very supportive and sympathetic caregivers. I would definitely recommend Emerald to anyone looking for an assisted living facility for their loved ones.
