Key Review Excerpts
“We had explored the other larger options of assisted living and did not feel comfortable with the staff/client ratio. This aspect was critical in our decision to use Advanced and I'm very glad we did.”
“She was a tough placement because she had some pretty complex nursing care needs. Most assisted living facilities turned her down. From the first phone call with Heather and Tom, we knew that we were comfortable considering this home for our family.”
“Home cooked meals, even bbqs on the lake in the summer.”
