Our mom lived here for over 6 years and the staff and residents were awesome! Such a wonderful and caring community - we’re grateful for the opportunity she had to live here! ❤️

After checking into several other senior independent housing options for a senior family member we all agreed on Ferris Hills. After 6 months there I can safely say that the residents and employees have been amazing in every respect in making this transition into a comfortable choice well beyond every expectation. This is a vibrant, active and caring independent living facility with an optional extended care wing, not a "nursing home" by any stretch of the imagination. I would give it 6 stars if possible.
