Michelle Hanstad goes above and beyond. She has made my mom feel so welcomed and part of Emerald Gardens family. We feel very good about this transition.<br>Teresa Smith was so patient with my mom and I. She explained the answers to my mom's questions in great detail and mine. They both understand how hard this is for our family. It feels good that my mom has a positive and safe place to live.<br>Thank you<br>LaTonnia Reetz and family

Teresa was knowledgeable, kind and patient addressing all of our concerns about the new arrangement for our loved one. She has always taken care of issues as soon as she is asked. She runs the facility with total dedication. The studio apartment was clean, freshly painted and will be a charming, nurturing environment. The support staff are so friendly and try to make him feel welcome whenever possible.

We recently toured Emerald Gardens and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The residents were playing bingo. The facility itself is beautiful and very well-maintained. A huge thank you to our tour guide who was incredibly patient, pleasant, and knowledgeable. She took the time to answer all our questions and made us feel right at home. The rest of the staff we met were just as friendly.

My mom needed to find a new assisted living facility that would be able to help her more. I called several places and finally got a warm welcome and acceptance of my mom to Emerald Gardens. It was such a relief. It’s a beautiful and smaller assisted living community. All the steps that were required went smoothly thanks to their director, Teresa! Once we arrived on move-in day, everyone welcomed us and introduced themselves to my mom and I. I shared my concerns and hopes and the whole team was very supportive. I know my mom is in really great care at Emerald Gardens! Thank you Teresa and your whole team!!

Placing a loved one in a care facility is one of the hardest things to go through. Thank you Teresa and her team at Emerald Gardens for making this transition as smooth as possible. Just walking in to the facility, I got a sense that it has a positive and welcoming culture. Teresa has been extremely responsive in helping our family through the process and answering all our questions.
