You’ve made the decision to find assisted living for someone you care a lot about and know in your heart they need more help getting through this chapter of their life than you can give. NOW WHAT? At Juniper Communities, that question was answered very quickly. Our family friend has been there several weeks. From administration to nurses, therapists, dining room staff, receptionists, and maintenance staff, I found everyone to be immediately and competently focused on the person and their needs with kindness and experience… Kudos to the staff who make a haven like this possible!
