After my husband surgery in Providence, he was sent in Sharon care for recovery, but I was disappointed that my husband state got worse and almost die for negligence. the worse place for any senior to be care for.

After my friend Karen, (who calls me her son), broke her hip we carefully researched all nearby skilled nursing options and chose Sharon Care. In the weeks that followed we agreed to try assisted living, (per Karen, as long as it was there). With the help of Campus Administrator J.R. Blood we moved Karen to a beautiful space on the other side of the building. For the past 17 months we couldn’t be happier with the results! Assisted Living and Memory Care Administrator Jymmie Reed has offered compassion and assistance above and beyond the call of duty. From as simple as how Karen is doing to recommending care providers for Karen, no question goes unanswered. Resident Care Coordinator Jami Underwood also does so much that we appreciate. By arranging transportation to appointments or the hospital, monitoring medication changes, keeping us and Karen’s providers apprised of any and all concerns, etc. they and their staff have helped Karen to her best possible life. For this they have our heartfelt appreciation.
