Review of Golden Orchards
I will be moving my godmother into Golden Orchards. It's a great facility. I think with all the ones that I ended up walking through, this was number two on my list, but as far as the preferences...
Very happy that there is more activities. Happy for Mark helping my brother with therapy and outreach to the community. Love the care. Every time I call I never find that my questions are a bother....
