I visited GT today with my quartet to sing for a resident. The front desk staff were very friendly, and the facility was very welcoming and home like.

My Grandmother has dementia and has been there for a couple of weeks now. The staff members were friendly. My grandmother likes to be outside during the summer time. They have a nice Terrace area so I took her out there. Although it was 95 degrees, my grandmother loved it.<br>Thank you for taking good care of her.
