Mother Gertrude's is such a beautiful, peaceful home. My grandma Elsie was there for a few years and she loved it so much! The sisters are both kind and gentle to every resident, they are family. The Garden is so beautiful and tranquil with a serene fountain to enjoy. There is also a sweet, precious chapel for services. I can't say enough wonderful things about mother gertrudes...
