My parents moved to a cottage at Granite Hill Estates in 2006, and my mother remained after she was widowed a few years later. My father knew that she would be well cared for if he passed away first. My mother loved exercises with Jayne, book group, and working in the library for many years. I became a resident and moved in with her when she couldn't live alone anymore, and I saw first-hand the benefits of living at Granite Hill. Everyone who worked there was attentive, friendly, and helpful, and the neighbors were thoughtful and kind. The campus is beautifully landscaped and peaceful, while the proximity of stores and other necessities enables one to do errands easily. I loved the space and privacy of living in a cottage while knowing that help was close by and that services such as snow plowing and trash pick-up were taken care of. My parents' decision to move to Granite Hill was the best thing they could have done, and the family is very grateful.
