Key Review Excerpts

Gina and her terrific team were such a blessing to my mother. Mom came in after a fall and a stint at rehab and Gina not only helped me coordinate her PT and wound care during a very stressful Covid time, but actually took my mom to appointments when I was working.

The staff is nothing short of incredible—compassionate, caring and truly dedicated to providing the highest level of care. Every aspect of Elsie’s Place is designed to create a safe, supportive, and comforting environment for residents.
