“My mom was moved to Assisted Living in January 2021. The care she gets there is wonderful. It was a very difficult decision to have my mother move to Assisted LIving, but Rick understood my concerns and was very patient with this transition. The staff is wonderful….I sleep well at night knowing she is so well taken care of. “
