I’m so thankful my mom is in this amazing facility. We had our growing pains initially. It’s hard to find a place you think will be a good fit especially when you’d rather have your loved one at home.<br>My mother has thrived here at Redwood!<br>Such a caring staff, clean living environment, delicious food, physical therapy, 24/7 nurses and doctor on call. I can’t say enough good things about the staff and the facility.<br>My mom is doing better cognitively & physically. So very thankful for this organization!
