Ive had family friends in and out of New Dawn and they have been so loving and extremely helpful. Susan had gone out of her way to make sure the care was being provided with the up most excellence. Their staff is very helpful, friendly, and professional. I will be choosing New Dawn when it comes time for grandmother to make the move!

What a wonderful place to leave a loved one! We brought our mother here today and even though putting your loved one in a home is a hard thing to do, it is so much easier when you see caring people introduce themselves and immediately take over in caring for them! From the minute we drive up this happened with Rich and Bill and continued with Cindy checking in on her medical needs and the rest of the staff keeping food warm for her as they knew she would be hungry when she got there after lunchtime. Such caring people deserve praise and thanks!

I can't tell you how much I appreciate all that New Dawn meant to us and the caring shown to my husband, George. His last days were spent in a place where he, and we, all felt safe and comfortable. Everyone at New Dawn was so very kind and courteous and treated the residents with such respect. It was refreshing to see how they all work together as a team! I'm so thankful that our path brought us to New Dawn Memory Care !
