    What an Amazing Place. Such great attention in the needs for our Elders by Incarnate Word Nursing & Medical Staff. Mrs. Helen Heye displayed such incredible care, kindness and concern for the needs of her patients. As seen, She is a true asset to The Elders.

    Everyone was exceptionally kind. I was even offered the desert, with no charge, and they gave me a cup of coffee. Each and every one I came into contact with were truly angels and WONDERFULLY helpful.

    My mom is in the independent living apartments. She loves it here. She is so much happier and has many activities she can participate in. The facilities are clean and the staff is very friendly. Everyone is very kind and I feel better knowing she is surrounded by people who care.

  • My mother has resided at the Village memory care wing for four months. Unlike other homes she is one of a few residents. The warm, professional traditional homelike environment has been an excellent fit for her care. A huge bonus is the Catholic prayerful Christ centered foundation and support. She’s repeated often she has very good care, is well fed and the staff very nice. Our family is very thankful to have found the village, no doubt divine Providence.

    My grandmother has lived there for the past four or five years and loves it there. She is 93 years old and full of spunk! She has so much more to do now than she did living at home. Their driver takes them out to different outings, she has her own beauty salon, gets pedicures there and wins at bingo all the time lol! It seems like now we have to call her to check her schedule to see when we can visit her because she’s such a social butterfly taking advantage and living life to the fullest now! So happy for my grandma!

  • I had visited several Retirement Centers before coming here, but when I walked through those doors, I knew this was the place for me and I still feel the same!

  • I am most thankful to God for leading me to this Retirement Center. The staff is amazing - so accomodating, kind, understanding of needs and wants. And best yet are the residents who are all so positive and cheerful. It is a pleasure and so refreshing to sit with them for meals and elsewhere.
