Sample family reviews
In their words
Daddy ran cattle for sixty years and he'd have run off any sitter we hired. At Green Creek he reads the farm report out loud every morning. He has a job.
Anita had my husband walking to the mailbox again four months after his stroke.
The van comes out to our place on a caliche road. Dale has never been late, not even in the ice storm.
Mom taught at Tarleton for thirty-one years. The staff still call her Dr. Fischer, and she loves it.
Joe noticed Dad was short of breath at lunch and called his cardiologist before I got off work. They adjusted his medicine that afternoon.
My grandmother speaks mostly Spanish. Half the staff do too. She is completely at home.
We milk at four in the morning. The 6:45 van is the only reason we could keep Mom at home.
My husband rebuilt a lawnmower engine in the shop. It runs. He tells everyone at church.
Elena got Dad's VA benefit approved in six weeks after we'd been stuck for a year.
Coffee's on at six-forty-five.
Come see the place, or bring your dad for a free day with lunch and the van. Call, text or book online.
