Emily Green Shores may be one of the smaller assisted living facilities, but that’s exactly what gives it a true home feeling. Nestled in a residential neighborhood, it looks and feels like home. With a new administrator, positive changes are already being implemented, building on an already solid foundation. The activities department keeps residents engaged with something always happening in the common room. And one standout feature is the Florida Room, offering serene, beautiful views of the water. Overall, it’s a caring, peaceful community where residents feel truly at ease.

Emily Green has been wonderful to work with. Maria was very helpful getting us the information we needed, and is doing great things in her new role. Location is in a very nice quiet spot and the sunroom is a nice place to sit and see the river.
