We moved my brother in 7 months ago-so pleased with the Administration and staff. Thankful he is in a good place. I enjoy meeting weekly and having breakfast with him.

Took a tour of Homestead yesterday with Kim, the Executive Director. Very impressed with the level of care that Homestead can provide their residents. It was obvious to me that Kim has a passion for helping seniors. Would recommend Homestead to any family looking for assisted living options.

We have been very satisfied with my sister's care. She is more aware of things around her. She was non-responsive in many areas. Now, she is initiating a conversation. I'm thrilled at how she has improved even if only for a limited time. Thank you for taking such good care of Sis.

It’s clear that Homestead Estates takes pride in maintaining a warm, welcoming environment and high-quality services for their residents.

10/17/24 While dropping off some items at the nursing home today, I was grateful for the warm greeting from a staff member who escorted me to my grandmother's room. It was a joyous moment to hug and express my love for my grandma, but saying goodbye was challenging given the changes she's facing. I had parked right at the front door to quickly drop the items off and God gave me the gift of a much needed hug and “I love you” from my grandma and even a staff member embraced me with a genuine hug on my way out. Thank you for your compassion and empathy today. The power of love and kindness can make all the difference.
