The Rutherford Memory Care has been a God-send for my mother. The homelike atmosphere, the welcoming and warmhearted staff, and the amazing and diverse activities planned for the residents has made her transition from her home with me to her home at The Rutherford seamless and pleasant. Every time I visit her, she is happy and content. A big THANK YOU to all at The Rutherford Memory Care!
