My mother in law that was there passed away a year ago. The facility was great. I would recommend it. And your service was very helpful. It was a good facility for her. They were very kind and kept us informed. Nice clean place. Staff very caring.

Vergas Assisted Living

We chose Vergas Assisted Living mainly due to the location and also they had an opening and we needed to move my loved one immediately. It is a smaller community so everyone knows everyone by name and we really like that. I would recommend them to others families looking.
