Key Review Excerpts
“My husband is in memory care at Cogir, and while the beginning was a bit bumpy due to his behavior, Deedra handled everything with incredible compassion and understanding.”
“There is still some work to do with communications between the staff (who are lovely caring people, real angels) through management to family. I'm confident we'll get there, though.”
“My grandmother is in the memory care wing at Cogir. During her stay, she is left in her room, with the lights off, in her diaper which is soiled with urine.”
