WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Mom has adjusted remarkably well to her move to The Hidenwood! Initially, she
was very worried about leaving her home, but we recognized that she needed the
additional support and care. The Hidenwood came highly recommended, and I can
see why after Mom has been a resident for just over a month. The attention to detail
demonstrated by the team, from the director down, is commendable. We are very
pleased with our decision to move Mom into The Hidenwood.”
B.B., The Hidenwood Family Member

welcoming community with excellent amenities and a dedicated staff who ensure
everything runs smoothly. I’ve also formed lifelong friendships with neighbors,
which makes it feel even more like home. Every aspect of living here meets my
needs and brings me joy – I couldn’t ask for a better place to call home!”
