My grandma passed away while living in St. Marks last week. I was very close with her and spent a lot of time there during her last week. All of her staff were great and appeared to really care about her. I asked lots of questions and double checked on pain meds often, and they were always so kind to me. My grandma talked only great things about her staff. Her nurse that was there the day she was declining and when she passed was using all of his knowledge to make her as comfortable as possible. It was so obvious that he knew a lot of information and tricks to help her comfort. When she passed, he was so professional, yet so empathetic and compassionate. He made it clear that she was of value and deserved dignity through death. He gave us time after and didn’t force or press anything. I cannot express the significance he made in my memories of my grandma, and my gratitude at the fact that she was taking care of with the most gentle care until her last breath. I’ll never forget his impact. Thank you all for all you do.

Thank you for the amazing care you have given to my family member over the past 6 years. The challenges that a Veteran sometimes faces has been greatly addressed by the amazing staff at St Marks. Your care has been greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend the St Marks family to help your family member too,

If you or a family member is looking for a senior community, look no further then St Mark's Living. My parents moved in to their assisted living apartment in January of 2016. It has been a decision our family is very happy with. You can't ask for more caring staff; no matter the level of care needed. Mom was in Memory Care the last year of her life. Dad has needed to be in rehab wing from time to time. Dad was just commenting today on how glad he is they moved there (even though mom has been gone since December of 2020). Great place to call home.

I just returned home after a 4 week stay at St. Mark's Rehab Center and it was such a positive experience. The staff was so caring, respectful and warm, they always put the patient 1st. Physical therapy, Theresa#1. Thank you for helping me on my journey to return home.

We had experience with all 3 levels: Independent, Assisted and Nursing Comfort Care. As our loved one became more vulnerable and less able to care for herself, the care became almost non existent and the “staff” was often no where to be found instead of the other way around. If you choose this facility be prepared to visit unannounced, at all hours of the day and night. Our loved one died within 10 days of being placed in the Nursing Care Rehab program.
