My mom went in two years ago the staff was kind and caring and Saaj and Lucy the owners are kind and caring. The rooms are single occupancy which for my mom was perfect compared to the other place she was in with 3 to a room.

The small environment and friendly staff made this time in my mom's life a good experience for our family. Mom's needs changed over the time she was there and it was easy to work with the staff and ultimately with hospice on the premises to give my mom the best quality of life possible up until the end.

Paradise Assisted Care Caregivers understood & adapted to my father's individual needs. The staff and management provided compassionate care and went above & beyond my expectations caring for my father for 14 months. His wife of 65 years visited nearly daily, and was welcomed with coffee and a smile. The owners have set the values and priorities to treat the residence with kindness - creating bonds and a warm community. I am happy to have chosen Paradise to care for my father!
