I recently moved my mom here in February. When we met with Alexis and the Open Arms team, my mom and I were welcomed immediately. Everyone that we've met (activities director, open arms care, cooks and residents have all been wonderful and friendly). I am so grateful to Alexis and the care team for making this transition go so smoothly for us. We've only known Alexis and her team for just over a month, but so far we're happy and impressed. I can only hope my mom will thrive (bonus that she is only 15 minutes away from me)!
