I would like to thank the staff at Buffalo Center for the care they provided to my mother-in-law during her stay from 2007 to 2013. She lived to be 102 years old, and we were grateful that she was able to spend those years in a place where she was cared for with kindness and respect. She was content, comfortable, and well looked after, which gave our family great peace of mind. One of the things she enjoyed most was being able to remain in her own community. She loved seeing old neighbors, friends, and relatives, and those familiar connections meant so much to her. It was nice knowing she could stay close to the people and surroundings she knew and loved. The nurses and caregivers worked hard to make sure she was comfortable, and it was reassuring to know she was in good hands. She also enjoyed some of the little pleasures available to residents, including the wine and ice cream, which always brought a smile to her face. We are grateful for the compassion and attention she received over those years and would like to thank everyone who played a part in her care. Their efforts made a positive difference in her life and in the lives of our family.

I had had both my Mother and my Father in this care center. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for care for their loved ones.
