My mother in-law lived here at her end of life. She was well taken care of and fed. They made sure to come quickly whenever there was a need. Becky is the best at addressing any concerns or needs. She was always easy to get a hold of and very kind and loving towards all residents that lived here.<br>Most of the caregivers treat the residents like they are family. They cook homemade meals and make sure all eat whether they bring the food to their room, take them down to the dining area, or hand feed them.<br>Thank you for giving my mother in-law the best care possible with loving arms and an open heart. 💓<br>I most definitely would recommend living here.

I have taken care of a few different patients in this facility and the care has always been top notch. The caregivers show compassion and kindness. The administrator kindra is easy to work with, pleasant, and always on top of things. I appreciate the care they give to my patients and would recommend them to anyone looking for an assisted living for their family.

After staying at a different facility where my mother was extremely unhappy we were a bit apprehensive as well as untrusting of truly any facility. We decided to give Turtle and Crane a shot. From the moment my mother arrived she was relaxed, comfortable and well cared for. The staff are second to none and treated my mother like family. Special shout out to Tess and Breanne (Bre). Kindra and Amy are also wonderful along with everyone there. My mom loved the people there and I would recommend this place to anyone who wants an intimate family type setting along with staff who are well trained and give specialized care to each individual. Thank you turtle and crane for loving my mother as your own. We are so grateful my mother’s last days were in such loving care. Love you guys

I recently visited a friend who is one of their residents. She said that she’s happy living here and that it feels as close to being at her own home as you can get. Her room and the common areas were clean and orderly. The staff was courteous, attentive, and eager to lend a helping hand. The other residents appeared healthy and happy as well. I was very pleased with my visit. Thanks for taking such amazing care of her!
