Words cannot express my appreciation for all your love and hard work that made Aunt [Removed] last years and as comfortable as possible. You were her family! I hope when my day comes there will be kind people like you to help.

Summit Place of Mooresville

I am very happy with them so far. The food would be about a three. They have lots of activities. I liked that it was smaller and all one floor. It was also one of the more reasonably priced places. I would give them an overall five at this point.
