I photographed an event at Somerby last week and was most impressed with thae facilities and the staff. The place was immaculatly clean, we'll kept and fresh. The staff was friendly, and overtly caring for all the residents. Lea Gunter was the individual I worked with, and she was amazing. Her personality and organizational skills were to die for. She helped me do my job beyond measure and made me feel like I was part of the family. I was so impressed with Somerby, that I jokingly told several staff members that I intend to put my house up for sale and move in, just so I can enjoy the outstanding selection of food they have to offer. I absolutely love this place and the individuals who make it the perfect place to retire and live in a safe, active, and comfortable environment. Five stars for everyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
