Barbara Rush
Our mom loved The Piper Living Assist. She really enjoyed visiting with the staff members and the other patients there and we did too when we visited our mom. She Loved going to the activities they had during the day. IF she wasn't hungry right at dinner time, they would bring her something later to eat. Her room was always clean and the facility was very clean. We loved this place for our mom.

I was disappointed with the facility that my mom Irene was in, so I went shopping for a new one. We asked The Piper Assisted Living and Memory care if we could move her to their location. We have been very pleased, mom has been there 2 months and they have accomplished more in two months than the previous place did in the past 6months. Also my mom was at the incorrect care level, and given wrong medications for months. She was not in her right state of mind. The Piper assisted me in getting her connected with the correct care givers and Doctors. My mom is now pain free and has a better outlook on life. Irene is a 99 year young retired accountant. She suffers from Macular Degeneration and has 20/200 vision. She has a mind that is sharp as anyone. She is a survivor of the Greatest Generation and is looking forward to her 100th birthday. I am very proud to be her son and care advocate. I wish we had started with The Piper Assisted living and Memory Care when she first needed care. The Piper really cares about their clients, clients family and staff. Thank you
