Callane, who is a care giver in Washington Way is a most caring person, who takes a personal interest in each resident and what makes each one special. She is professional, yet caring in her own special way. I am thrilled she is there for Marilyn.

Sani is, hands down, one of the kindest, welcoming care worker. She always makes me feel important as a family member coming to visit.

I am pleased with the general positive atmosphere at the facility, particularly the friendliness on the part of the entire staff. Sani was so helpful dealing with my LTC insurance , lifting a great burden from my mind.Mehret, the nurse, always reacts quickly to any concerns that I have; his care partners communicate with me, a great plus. Lauri manages to cheer anybody up in this community, and is very good at keeping me up-to-date. Teresa, the concierge, manages to let me leave the often sad vists with a happy mind. Michelle is always on top of things and efficient.

ETA...after a year and a half of having Mom at GFMC, we all feel even more blessed. We were so lucky to be able to place Mom with all of the wonderful, caring people at GFMC. Truly a world class memory care facility! If Google allowed me to double the stars, I would definitely give them a 10!<br><br>I cannot say enough wonderful things about Great Falls Memory Care. They have made a difficult time in my life so much easier. We found ourselves needing to move my mother into care on very short notice last Fall following the unexpected death of my father. From my first interview with Missy Perkins to when Laurie met us at the door when we arrived after an 8 hour drive with Mom, we have been treated with kindness, compassion and a deep commitment to first class care. From the care partners such as Rita, Isha and Kadi to Victor with his boundless enthusiasm to Sani's smiling face at the front desk... My entire family feels absolutely blessed and filled with gratitude that Mom landed in such a wonderful home. So much gratitude!

Lindsay is an awesome care partner that I’ve observed multiple times at GFMC. She is patient and kind with the residents even when they are not under her charge.
