Key Review Excerpts
“My mother, Juanita Bolton, had a fall and broke her ankle. She was 94 and unable to keep living independently. She chose Especially You for the warm, family feeling. She loved all the staff and the residents. I was extremely pleased with the attention and care she received.”
“My mother was treated with respect and love during her stay here. She had dementia and some days she was her sweet self and some days she became physically mean with the staff. They were incredible in their patience with her.”
“My mother lived at Especially You for over 2 years. The staff was friendly, respectful and responsive to her needs. I felt she was in a safe and kind environment.”
