Our sister has been here at Laurel Ridge for just about one year now wind today’s visit proved again to give us great comfort in the care that she is receiving. The facility is very well staffed and very clean. We felt that the process was efficient and those in charge Were fully aware of the issues we are facing and we’re very pleased with how they address all aspects of care. We feel that our sister is safe and well taken care of and that their understanding of the families needs during these difficult times is also an important part of care. We recommend Laurel Ridge highly.
