My mother has dementia and has been a resident here for 17 months now. The care and compassion she, and my family have received, have exceeded all of my expectations. The staff are highly professional and do everything possible to make the residents feel relaxed, comfortable and happy. The residents are shown true compassion and dignity. Although this is a very difficult time for my family, it has been made easier knowing that my mother is being so well cared for. I highly recommend Drake Nursing Home.
