Very impressed with this community. We looked at options for my parents. I thought they were best to stay at home. Well they can. But now with 3 healthy meals prepared for them, active calendar, immediate friends and peace of mind for me.<br>Steve was real helpful from the get go. Faith will be a joy to them. Tenured team which says a lot to about the leadership and organization.<br>Move in weekend coming soon!! My folks are so excited.
