My family has nothing but good things to say about the care and admin at Sharon Lane! Our experiences go way back when a friends grandmother resided there before the major renovations. More recently, we were charged with the care of an elderly neighbor with no family. He was a difficult personality and hard to please. The staff at SL couldnt have been more kind & patient. Because he was a challenge, he ended up at several, very different facilities. The care elsewhere did not compare to SL. They are family owned & operated and offered us much more personalized care than some of your giant

My mother was transferred after her home had closed several years ago. The care at Sharon Lane is the highest quality you could ask for with your loved ones. They do the little things that others do t so. It may seem unimportant to us but makes the world of a difference to the residence
Not that Im in a rush, but when the time comes I hope Sharon Lane is still around for me. Its a family ran business and it shows. They all care with a big heart. You will not be sorry placing loved ones in there care.God bless to them all

Our Mother absolutely loves it here and so do we. They participate in PEAK, so she gets to choose her Shower/bathtimes and days, meal times and her menu if she doesnt like the daily choice she can order off the side menu, when she wakes up and when she goes to bed. The staff takes great care of their residents and they take the time to make sure they have lots of activities for everyone and try to make everyone feel included. Prior to the Covid outbreak they had weekly and monthly activities with the residents and families. And since Covid they have still tried to do things to keep the families

Did clinicals here.... I would not put a loved one in this facility. I have only met 2 good staff members during the half a year I was there.. Residents were not neglected in any sorts however I feel like the cna and rns lacked compassion which made me very upset.
