After my husband passed away my children said I needed to find an assisted living place to live. I wasn’t sure that’s what I wanted, but after moving in here I love this place, people are friendly and nice. They have many activities to attend, movies, puzzles and cards and bingo.

The Rose is a community that Im extremely happy to know about and able to lend a helpful hand. Residents get to enjoy activities, entertainment/guests, having different things to do each week and the one thing I like knowing about The Rose is that the staff truly try to help things stay a Positive experience!
