Key Review Excerpts
“He wasn’t too keen on the idea initially, but John Imler went out of his way to be helpful & once Dad got settled he said everything was fine. Dad’s ultimate test, the food, passed with flying colors!”
“Celebration Villa is by far the closest to HOME I have found for my mother. The care, knowledge of residents, and activities that the staff promote are exceptional.”
“The staff was wonderful caring for my mother. She transferred from another facility because they didn't want to deal with my mother's developing altzheimers. Celebration accepted her with open arms and provided the necessary care she needed with compassion.”
