Sample family reviews
Kind words from our families
Mother has always said a house should have roses. The first morning, Helen handed her clippers and asked which ones needed cutting.
Margaret was a hospice nurse, and it shows. When Dad's time came, she knew exactly what to do and how to tell us.
The food is better than mine. I say that with love and some jealousy.
My parents share the couple's suite. After sixty-two years they still sit on the porch every evening holding hands.
Teresa calls me after every doctor's visit. I live in Chicago and I never feel out of the loop.
The harp on Sunday afternoons is the most peaceful hour of my week, and I'm only visiting.
Mom paints watercolors of the hills now. We framed one for our living room.
Twelve suites means they know her. Not her chart, her.
We toured six places from Austin to New Braunfels. This was the only one that felt like a home someone loved.
Come for tea in the rose garden.
Margaret gives every tour herself, usually with a pot of tea on the porch afterward. Choose a time or call.
