My wife, Karen, lived at Second Home Senior Living for 19 months. It was a really good spot for her. The staff were excellent. They truly cared about each of the residents there and took great care of them. They made the place feel like home. They were also great cooks. I often wanted to stay for lunch just from the smells coming out of the kitchen. Karen was at a different facility with an 8:1 caregiver ratio for 11 months and she lost 16 lbs during that time. She gained it all back at Second Home in eight months. The 4:1 caregiver ratio at Second Home is difference making. The staff also have a great sense of humor which helps when you are a family member visiting your spouse. Karen passed away in May. Second Home made the last 19 months of her life as good as it could have been and I owe them a lot for that. If you are looking for a facility that feels like home, Second Home is a great choice.

Even though my Mom wasn’t here very long, it didn’t take long for us to feel like family. Mom got exceptional, kind and loving care from the staff and homemade meals daily. Even the owner was caring and attentive to details. Situated in a lovely setting for residents to enjoy watching nature, the home was cozy and warm. Our family would highly recommend Second Home and our only regret is that we didn’t find it sooner.

I met Eleanora several years ago when she was first opening up her residential assisted living, Second Home. I found her to be in this business for all the right reasons. She is honest, has great communication and holds a high integrity with her profession.<br>As a senior living advisor, I confidently brought clients to consider her home for their loved ones. She prioritizes compassionate care for her residents and makes sure to tailor their services to meet the individual needs of each resident. I received 100% positive feedback from clients who placed their loved ones at Second Home.<br>Eleanora also holds her caregivers in high regard securing quality and respectful staff. Her home is modern, clean and spacious. The outside is surrounded by nature and offers a serene setting for her residents to take in the sights of tall trees, birds and deer during warmer weather months.<br>If you are looking for a quality assisted living for your loved one, I highly recommend considering Second Home as a top contender!

Second Home provides the ideal, superlative care environment for my parent, as close to the that of her original home as is possible, given her substantial care needs. The staff at Second Home create a care system that is far superior to our family’s experience with previous large corporate care facilities ( that did not meet her individual emotional and physical needs).
