Rockland place is such a great and friendly community. I’ve visited a few times before and I love It! It’s so different from many other communities.. There are many people there that made my experience so special! Marie Velazquez, she’s always smiling, is kind hearted and very professional. Paul Taylor is funny, kind and really good at making one feel right at home! Kimberly L. along with Tymesha M. are also amazing at what they do! They make sure the residents are safe, well cared for, and comfortable! Rockland has plenty of great staff that just make Rockland not feel like a work environment but they make It feel like home..

My name is Desmond Stanback and I want to mention that I run a unique service that has been created on the principles of love and compassion. The name of my business is Forever Letter and Forever Letter deals with individuals who may be approaching the last stages of their lives. Forever Letter allows these individuals to leave messages to loved ones in the form of a letter or recording. The first thing I noticed when visiting Rockland Place, is that Rockland shares the same principles that Forever Letter was built on. Rockland is a beautiful community and the staff is one of the most friendly and caring I have ever met. I want to mention a few members of the staff that I’ve met. The first person I came into contact with was Marie Velazquez. She greeted me with a GREAT BIG smile! Marie was not only friendly but she was also very professional. I could see that she cared very much about the Rockland community. The next person that I had the pleasure of speaking with was Kimberley Luces. Kimberley is the Memory Care Program Director who shows extreme passion for both her job and the residents who stay at Rockland Place. The last person I wanted to mention is Dallese Frasier, the Community Life Director. 5GWhen speaking with Dallese, I walked away impressed by the care and compassion she shows for the job she performs for Rockland. All in all, I wanted to say if you’re someone who is reading this review, I would like you to know that this is my honest assessment of Rockland Place. I've now had the pleasure of meeting these individuals on many occasions and they all show the same level of hospitality every time. If you’re in the market for an extraordinary place to live with an amazing staff, I would suggest you put Rockland Place on your list of places to visit.
