“My mother and I went to Ruby Commons for an event on Friday. It’s a beautiful community and I can tell they have a lot of exciting things going on. All the staff and residents I met were so kind and happy. It was very inviting, clean, and the room we were in was nice. I liked the open, sunny areas in the community as well.”
