The staff at Sodalis Temple all takes good care of my dad. I would recommend Sodalis Temple to other families who are searching for care for their loved ones.

Arbor House of Marble Falls

4.8
It's great - my family member loves it there. They've been very nice and treat her respectfully. She likes the people that she's met. We love the apartment - it's perfect for her. Really the only issue is her water pressure, which she's having a hard time getting them to fix.
