Community Testimonials

We placed my wife Lois at The Court on October 31, 2011. She has dementia and requires level 2 care. Everyone, including Jennifer, Brandi, Heleen, Cindy, Alan and Wendy has been extremely helpful in making the transition. Special kudos to Shari for her professional, loving approach. She has expertly guided me through the decision-making and paper process. Lois is now in the adjustment phase. Time will tell whether it is a good fit, but I am very optimistic that The Court will provide Lois with the very best prospects for outstanding care.
