We did an event here the other day. The staff were absolutely amazing and we witnessed them being very helpful! The facility was beautiful. Everything was so clean and organized. The residents seemed like they were having a great time with all the activities. Parking was really easy. Everyone was very kind and seem like very caring and wonderful people! - Nicole D.
As a family member, I'm very pleased with our experience. It means the world to me to hear my loved one say that we made the right choice in choosing Empress Senior Living. They have told us that the staff are friendly and caring, and that when it comes to activities, "There's always something to do here". At a recent party for residents and families, it was clear how much effort the staff put in to ensure everyone had a good time. The environment is attractive and well-tended, and the staff knows the residents by name, and what their interests are. To me, it's evidence of a culture of caring. - David G.
I've been visiting my friend who has been here for two months and this place has been heavenly to residents. The staff are stars in attending to resident care and entertainment. The concerige is always smilling, happy to see you, and ready to greet! I’m totally pleased my friend is here and taken care of. - Merry P.
