Key Review Excerpts
“The staff supports our daily living with maintenance, cleaning, rides, trips, humor and kindness. We feel lucky to live here.”
“The kind and caring staff offered all I could want during those first few days out of the hospital. The food was great. My Physical Therapist most helpful.”
“She was living at the Hearthstone and developed dementia. Eventually she became combative and had to be hospitalized. The Hearthstone declined to take her back, at any level of care, even after her combativeness was controlled by medication.”
