There’s just something that feels comfortable about Lighthouse Senior Living. After three months in another facility that just didn’t feel right, my wife became a resident in The Village at Lighthouse Senior Living. From my experience, it couldn’t be better. The people here are super friendly and very helpful – from top to bottom. Staff are extremely responsive, jumping right to it when you have a request or problem. And they’ve been both flexible and supportive, which allows me to spend more quality time with my wife. As family, I always feel welcome when I’m here, and I know my wife is getting the attention and care she needs. It’s a class operation.
