Good Community

Gem's Senior Care is a small (6 bed) community. They do provide good care for their residents. It seems that they may need extra staff to care for residents at night. My loved one does have a bell by her bedside if she needs anything. The food is okay but it seems like they need a little bit more of a variety of food available.

This home was comfortable, clean, air conditioned, and the private room size was ok, and the staff was friendly and very helpful with the information I asked and needed to know.They have handrails all through the hallways and not subject to a lot of traffic noise.

Very personable owner. Clean facility and homey feel. Menu looked well balanced and pleasing. Didn't have a private room available at this time and felt the shared room was not the best fit.

we are very satisfied

They're doing a great job. It's still new but I don't have a problem with anything so far. We looked at several homes before choosing Gems Senior Care, and noticed a real difference here. They have a lot of great activities, something for everyone. I really don't see any room for improvement - we are very satisfied!
