They treated my mother like family

For anyone considering Primrose for your loved one, I would like to share my experience. My mother lived at Primrose for about 2 years before she passed.
Primrose was a godsend for her and us, her family. After about a month of adjusting, Primrose became home. Primrose allows so much freedom and independence for people like my mother who have progressive memory issues as well as behavioral issues, but still have so much life in them and ability to do many things. I saw that many people at Primrose needed more extensive care and were not as aware as my mother was. The beauty of Primrose is that each person is treated as an individual and receives personalized care and attention. There is structure and flexibility, beautiful grounds and kind, well-trained staff. They treated my mother like family and she could feel that.
