Reviews

After three months I am delighted with Sonnet Hill’s care of my husband, who has FTD. The place is small enough that the staff all know him, and he feels secure and happy. The building is beautiful new construction. What Sonnet Hill calls a double is actually a large individual room only the sharing kitchenette and bathroom with one other person. The staff are uniformly loving and kind, and have won my trust with their excellent care.

Visiting our dad weekly has become a joy for family members. Our dad has adjusted extremely well, and he is in a positive mood for most of our weekly visits. This wasn’t the situation with his 24/7 care at his home. I strongly encourage you to schedule a tour at Sonnet Hill and I can guarantee you, your positive experience with staff members will be second to none!
