Called to donate and the staff was incredibly rude. If they can't treat donors with respect, how are they treating the elderly? Don't bother wasting your donations on this poorly-run org.

This place is truly special. My mom not only lived here, she thrived. She found community purpose and had every health need cared for. All of the staff,volunters, and nuns are the most amazing souls you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting. The social activities and events are amazing! My sister and I always said that mom had a better social life than we did, LOL. Last but not least, this is by no means of nursing home. My mom called this her home, and she meant home. Thank you for all of the tender love and care you gave to our la presidenta. May God bless you all.
