Key Review Excerpts
“Everything about this facility is worth it. They treated my grandma with dignity and respect to the very end.”
“Such a heartbreaking experience at the end of my mother's life. For the most part, she received very good care at Linden Court but after she had an acute heart attack... no one recommended hospice until it was too late.”
“My sister stayed at Linden Court for 2 very important nights to allow her to attend her son-in-laws funeral. They did so much to help make it happen with Medicaid bureaucracy.”
