This is where my brother in law is being cared for. They do an outstanding job caring for him, he had a stroke and has aphasia. Very hard to understand, but they seem to understand him. He is always clean and well fed. He seems very happy there. It is easy to visit him there or even check him out to go to a movie or just visit somewhere different. If I ever have the need to stay in a nursing home, this is where I would like to be.

How our free service works

Georgia asks us to share this in writing.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

By submitting, you're okay with us and Sgmc Health Villa reaching out by phone, email or text. Always free for families; if you move in, the community may pay us a referral fee, never you.
