"My mother moved into Emerald Village in December of 2017. This is a wonderful place. The building and grounds are lovely and kept spotless, the apartments are very nice, the food is excellent and the staff is the best! My siblings and I have been more than impressed with the nurses and aides. My mother was not easy to deal with at first, as she was reeling from all the changes in her life (at age 94) and took it out on the staff. They responded with professionalism, understanding and compassion. These ladies were so patient and kind! Before long, my mom adjusted, and she now loves it and feels lucky to be there. My siblings and I feel very fortunate that our mom is at Emerald Village. We have peace of mind, knowing she is safe and well cared for and treated with kindness and respect. This has been especially true during the COVID-19 pandemic. The staff has gone the extra mile to keep the residents healthy. This is a truly wonderful place!" - Marian O.…
