Once considered the premier rehab facility for the elderly, but now considered a normal waste of Medicare dollars

Noble who did an amazing job of restoring my mother to health in just three short months. The staff showed her kindness and patience every day. Their work is much appreciated, especially during this difficult and turbulent time. I felt she was safe at Noble Horizons and staff were attentive and creative in accommodating her needs. And they managed to support us; her family, too! I have deep gratitude and admiration for the care she got at Noble Horizons.

My grandmother stayed at Noble for a while and had a really great stay. All of the staff were always so kind and attentive to her and to our family. I was particularly impressed by Noble Horizons when they arranged travel for her to join us at our Easter celebration one year. They were kind enough to provide a safe ride for her from Noble to our home, and then back to Noble. It's such a beautiful campus and has such wonderful workers. Would definitely have another family member reside here if care was needed!! Thank you, Noble.

As a second generation family now living at Noble Horizons, we have always felt that the medical care and personal caring of staff is top notch. Among my family members we have occupied all of the levels of care available, from the independent cottages through Cobble, Wagner, Riga and finally, Whitridge. The staff at all levels is so very thoughtful and capable. Especially at this time of covid, I offer a heartfelt Thank You for all you do.
