My 98 year old mother has lived at Gemstone since Thanksgiving 2024. The staff is caring and attentive, good at communicating with us about her care. The meals are homemade and Mom enjoys them. So glad we found Gemstone, feel Mom is in good hands.

I always get invited to all their parties and celebrations throughout the year. All my phone calls and texts get answered quickly and I have put my trust into this facility and they have exceeded my expectations!!
