These people take care of your loved ones! Not only is that what we were looking for BUT the chef is great, the quality of life lead is always on the job, therapy is available, and the care-techs know what is needed to help. This is a positive, vibrant community where my mom & dad found a home. Take a look, go for lunch, checkout bingo, they will assure you this is the place you were looking for.

Mathison was a wonderful home for my dad when he needed more assistance! The staff were friendly and caring and quickly knew dad by name. The facilities are well maintained, clean and did not have a nursing home feel at all! It felt like a home! His apartment was a perfect size for him and very homey. The fact that they will do laundry, take trash out and basic cleaning was a huge help to me as well! I highly recommend Mathison as “home” for your aging parents!!

Matt H. has been amazing since my Grandmother moved in. He was a huge help in her recent room relocation, doing everything from minor repairs to setting up electronics. Thankful for great people like this at Mathison!

To the entire staff of Mathison, I am truly grateful. My mother was cared for with love. They cared for her as if she was family. They, along with hospice made it possible for her to spend her last days as she wished, in her cozy Mathison apartment. Her home.<br>To us her family, this was priceless!<br>If I could do a shout out to all of you, the entire staff, thank you for the hugs, sharing in my tears and all the much needed support. But mostly I will remember the whispers of lovely goodbyes to my mom from all of you. You are all very special.<br>Blessed to have had mom at Mathison.<br>Fondly,<br>Lynn Kane & family
