We chose Good Living Community Care because of the convenient location and they worked really hard to get my dad into dialysis. The room sizes here were pretty good for what he needed. As assisted living, I would recommend to others looking.

Since Dad started his journey at Landing at Woodland Lakes, it's like watching him conduct a symphony of life. He's surrounded by support, yet free to compose his days with activities he loves. The blend of care, community, and personal space is music to our ears.
