“The Location Is Phenomenal.”
“We looked at other communities, but not a lot because we didn’t need to. We’re Elmhurst residents, and we knew this area very, very well. The location is phenomenal. The staff is so friendly, it’s like walking into a familiar neighborhood. We probably know 90 percent of the residents here. I think we’re such advocates for this community because we really love it and believe in it.”
– Peggy Cashman
