My mother spent the last year of her life at The Porches and I can’t say enough good things about the care she received. The staff was attentive, kind, and compassionate and got to know her well, becoming a second family to her.<br><br>The activities offered were fun and engaging. My mother especially enjoyed the music programs where songs from her youth were prevalent. The activities, as well as mealtimes, offered opportunities to get to know other residents too. Meals were healthy and locally sourced.<br><br>The Porches was a wonderful place for my mother to live. They offered dignity and comfort and treated my whole family with kindness and respect.

The owners and staff at the porches are very caring people. My mother loves the care and people that help her every day. From the very first day she was there she felt it was home. When she's away from there she always is looking forward to going home to the porches. We the family couldn't ask for anything better for our mothers care then she is receiving from them it's the best care she's had outside of the family.
