Love From Our Families
My mom moved into her new home a few weeks ago. I was able to visit with her this week while being in Florida and my gosh, I know she is right where she needs to be. Huge shoutout to Jerry, Diana, Paula, Kathy and Apryl. You are real life angels. The energy you bring is above and beyond. To see how you interact with not only my mom, but all the residents, it truly warms my heart. While it is heartbreaking to see my mom battle Alzheimer's, I know she is in the perfect place. She is safe and receiving the care she needs. <3 The place is clean, accommodating and most importantly feels like home. I love that there is a schedule and many activities for the residents to participate in. My mom has loved the painting and coloring

Upon entering this beautiful community, I was deeply impressed by the exceptional level of care and compassion demonstrated by all the caregivers. Every member of the team, from maintenance staff to the executive director, significantly contributes to the residents' quality of life. The interior courtyards offer a safe and beautiful outdoor escape for the residents, while the dining area is both elegant and spacious. GCMC stands out as one of the premier memory care centers I have ever visited.
- Bill & Bonny B
Exceptional dedication. Genuine care 24/7, everyone is doing a great job, from Management to the care team. Jerry and Diana are conducting the business, but you can see them walking the hallway and chatting with the residents, literally knowing everyone. There is an engine who works behind the scenes to have the day and night activity running smoothly. Family feeling, warmth, and genuine care, overall, 5 stars. Residents are never alone, there is always a pair of eyes to watch and hands ready to help as needed, but all is done in a certain way, so our loved ones don’t feel any loss of their independence. Beautifully done. The activities are not just lines on paper, everyone is involved. Food is first class.
