Key Review Excerpts

I feel the staff really got to know her and the owners were always involved and on top of any concerns that I had!

Grandchild of resident · 2025★★★★★

We placed our father at Sue's in the hopes he would receive the attention he needed with his illness better than a local well regarded memory care facility that did nothing for him and was really not equipped to handle the amount of patients they have.

Child of resident · 2018★★★★★

At that difficult time when the decision needed to be made, Sue was there to not only be there for their loved ones, but also helped them navigate what was coming next and she and her staff treated everyone like their own family.
