My parents could not be happier than they are living at Pinnacle Assisted Living. The accommodations are perfect, and the entire staff is fantastic! Dad and Mum love the opportunity to meet new folks and swap stories and lifelong memories. At 97 years old and married almost 79 years, they relish in the joy they share with other residents at Pinnacle. As one of their 10 children, I feel very confident having them reside in such a wonderful place!

We are very pleased with the care our mother has received at Pinnacle assisted living. Since moving in, she has adjusted very well and appears happier, healthier, and more comfortable in her daily routine. She is now eating three meals a day consistently and taking her medications regularly, which has made a significant positive difference in her overall well being.<br>The staff has been very caring, attentive, and genuinely friendly. They take the time to get to know the residents personally and treat them with kindness and respect. It feels family-oriented, which has given our family peace of mind knowing she is in a safe and caring environment. We are grateful for the compassion and dedication shown by the staff and would highly recommend Pinnacle to other families looking for quality care for their loved ones.

I want to thank all the staff at Pinnacle for the loving care they have given to my Dad for the past 5 years. I would come fir a week to 10 days abd visit about 10 times a year and Dad was happy, they took care of him as his needs increased and were willing to give him special attention to fill his day with love.<br>I liked that this facility is not so large that everyone gets the help they need and it is like a big family. The staff get to know there residents and Dad was able to visit with some in French and German and have some fun together. I liked that it is tucked away a little so that Dad could go outside and watch the wild life and get some sunshine.<br>Very clean and helpful staff.<br>Thank you .

The staff at Pinnacle are truly wonderful caregivers for my dad and are like a second family to him—and to us. Over the past 4+ years, the staff has been consistently warm, loving, and attentive and always treat him with the dignity and respect. It gives us a great comfort to know he is in a place where compassion and genuine kindness are evident every day. It is never an "us versus them" mentality but rather let's work and communicate together as a team to ensure Dad has a great day! Our family is thankful to partner with Pinnacle!
