Key Review Excerpts
“I deeply regret the decision to move my mom to Independence Hill Assisted Living, as she tragically passed away just one month after her admission. Despite repeated calls to the Director, my mom did not receive her low blood pressure medication for over a month.”
“My mother-in-law is 93 and moved into Independence Hill on August 30th of this year. We are so impressed with the staff and their communication from Day 1.”
“The rent at IHAL remains the same until the resident leaves. They know their clientele. These people are on a fixed incomes.”
