Key Review Excerpts

I called at different times of the day to check in on my parents and they could tell me at any time exactly how much they weighed, how much they had eaten that day, any medicines they needed, how their mood was etc. They were meticulous with note keeping and so competent.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The renovations have improved the standard of living exponentially. The resident I visit is much happier.

Visitor · 2023★★★★

Pierce staff took good care of my sister. Cleaning lady (Michele) was the best person, she really cares and jokes with the patients makes them feel like they are someone. i was a little disappointed that they didnt keep me updated on her care.
