Sample family reviews

Families who made the move

Mom lived four hours away in Joplin and I was driving up every other weekend. Now she's ten minutes from my house and comes to every one of Ella's games.
Kristen D.Daughter of a resident
I had never touched clay in my life. I have now made eleven bowls, and my son has to keep all of them.
Lorraine P.Resident since 2023
Marcus called me at ten at night to tell me Dad's blood pressure was high, what he'd done about it, and that he'd check again at midnight. He did.
Brian S.Son of a resident
Renata found us movers in Tulsa, measured the apartment for Dad's recliner and had his pictures hung before we got here. I didn't think it could be that easy.
Alicia M.Daughter of a resident
I walk the greenway every morning with Darnell's club. Two miles now. My cardiologist wants to know what I'm doing.
Ed K.Resident since 2022
The grandkids ride their bikes over on the trail after school. That alone was worth the move.
Gloria V.Resident since 2021
Mamá likes that she can talk to Renata and half the caregivers in Spanish. She says it feels less like a facility and more like her sister's house.
Daniel R.Son of a resident
We used the long-term care policy Dad bought twenty years ago. Hannah filed every claim. We never saw a form.
Stephanie H.Daughter of a resident
I came for a two-week trial stay after my hip. I went home, sold the house and came back in a month.
Margaret L.Resident since 2024
Saturday pancakes are chaos and my kids love it. My father-in-law is the loudest one at the table.
Jason T.Son-in-law of a resident

Bring the grandkids to the tour.
