Chestnut House
I mean I was treated like a queen and I've seen how they are with other people. Also not only that doing my laundry. She has a whole schedule going and showers. Perfect. The company was great that little backyard is wonderful and also they fed me what I liked I told them and they also didn't mind The way. I kinda talk a lot, but I really enjoyed everybody. I felt like I was in a friend home I really do and I felt very spoiled being able to have my own room. That was wonderful. It was a wonderful experience. If there was anything like a home I consider that I didn't have to go upstairs, which was very nice. The fact that I had a bathroom some other guest might not, but I like that and the fact that they had the TV which I really liked The food was good and if you like something special, they'll get it for you lovely patio. I really consider that a home and I was in a wheelchair the whole time and it definitely worked for me going down the halls getting into the rooms, etc., along with the shower in the main bathroom that was perfect. Everything was very nice and of course that's my hometown so I loved it just being there.

The facility has been absolutely wonderful to my husband. They're taking the best care of him. He's very happy there. They're very kind. They're very considerate. They're very caring and I'm just so fortunate that I was able to find them through you. I would recommend them to anyone, but unfortunately, they don't have a lot of spaces. There are small. Well they have three they do have three facilities though but anyway they're just great and anyone who is there is lucky to be there. They do their jobs very well and it shows.
