What this means for your family
Serenity House is highly regarded for its intimate, home-like atmosphere and compassionate care for residents with dementia. However, because there are conflicting reports regarding the owner's management and interpersonal conduct, we strongly recommend scheduling an in-person visit to observe staff-resident interactions and speaking directly with the owner to assess your comfort level with their management style.
