Key Review Excerpts
“My mom was at Mirabella twice over the past four months due to some unfortunate circumstances and Brooke Kastens (social worker) was my “go to” for everything I needed for my mom especially due to covid and the inability to visit my mom and help her directly.”
“I have lived here for 12 years and am very glad to call this my home. The Residents are warm and welcoming, the staff is competent and responsive, the apartments are large (compared to comparable facilities) with each having a balcony, and the meals are outstanding.”
“The staff are wonderful. Very helpful with people recovering from surgery. The place is well organized and efficient. A beautiful facility.”
