My family and I had to make the difficult decision to put our mother in a home. After looking around we decided on Rensselaer Care Center and we are glad we did. Kimberly in Admissions was extremely helpful and made the entire process so easy. It's been a pleasant experience and Mom is doing great and has adjusted well. On behalf of our family we thank the staff at Rensselaer Care Center.
