Key Review Excerpts

At Tender Care the residents are like a family, they eat, play, exercise, sing, do crafts and actually live their lives together.

Family member · 2020★★★★★

Joe and his house manager, Mary, were wonderful counselors for me as I navigated all the details of insurance, medicine, and many other issues related to my dad's stay with them and his long term care.

Respite care family member · 2025★★★★★

After many upsets at other nursing homes, we finally found a truly peaceful place where there was love and the help and community needed for my Oma after painful surgeries and hospital stays.
