Key Review Excerpts
“My mom, who has moderate Alzheimer’s, has been at New Friends for a year now and couldn’t be happier or more adjusted! Thanks to a warm, comfortable, and intimate environment along with caring staff, my mom has grown to love New Friends as her home.”
“The staff has always been caring and helpful in regards to taking care of my mom. They always have listened to any concerns we have had and are amazing with the residents and keeping them happy and engaged.”
“I walked in the building to see plenty of residents in the common area enjoying live acoustic music. The building was clean, the staff were friendly and clearly enjoyed their roles.”
