My father has been at South High Senior Living since November 2023. He resides on the assisted living side of the community. The facility is inviting and beautiful. What is most important to note is the care he receives around the clock. The staff is compassionate and qualified. The Director of Nursing, Stephanie Patmore goes above and beyond her call of duty to make certain the residents are being care for properly. The entire staff is exceptional! The food, the activities and the atmosphere is better than I even expected! I would highly recommend this facility to any family looking for a home for their loved one!!
