Residential Care Homes: A homelike setting similar to family living. For residents who require similar assistance to assisted living or
nursing homes.

"My father called me recently to tell me that my mom's doctor recommended he begin to check for Alzheimer's care centers. We were expecting this news for some time and I began to help him investigate. I wasn't even sure where to look or what questions I should ask. I checked a lot of Alzheimer's care sites and found Senior Living Mentor. Within 30 minutes I had all of my questions answered and now, mother is in a safe Alzheimer's home and my dad and I feel much better about my mother's future."
