I can’t say enough about the staff at Calvin Community. My mother spent the last weeks of her life there, and the care couldn’t have been better. The nurses and aides are absolutely wonderful; so kind, gentle and caring not only for my mom but for the entire family. Calvin Community was a blessing for our family.

My mom has been in assisted living for about a year and we are so happy we made the choice to put her here. The staff is very friendly, caring, and often go above and beyond to meet my mom's needs. The leadership staff is very responsive with communication to address any questions, and have always responded when our family makes a request.

Gardenview Dimentia care area was a very caring & helpful place for my mom. She had her own room & bedroom set. Her room looked a lot like her home.
