Hartwell Place is an amazing place! My Mom has been there for over a year and she feels very cared-for and active. The staff is very warm and caring and the activities are well targeted to people with memory problems. It makes me happy to see my Mom thriving. She is happy with the staff and the art/music/singing/exercise/movies/gardening and other activities and living her life as fully as possible while coping with memory issues. Thank you, Hartwell Place!
