I can not brag enough about the care my husband gets at Gordon Oaks. He is in Memory Care. Every staff member knows where he is at all times. They are all friendly and respectful to him and to me. I have come to feel they are our friends helping me as his condition progresses. This facility is always clean and I've told the kitchen staff they have the best food in town.

It was a pleasure to tour Gordon Oaks with Cassie. The team was very welcoming as they all showed pride in their individual work areas. This community has so much space for the residents to enjoy. If you’re looking for independent living or memory care, I highly recommend you go by and see them at Gordon Oaks.
