My in-laws (both 95) have been in assisted living at Portside for a little over three years. My sister, who fell and broke her hip a year ago now lives in Portside independent living. I can honestly say the care and attention that my family members have received while there has been amazing. Of course, my in-laws require much more attention than my sister, but regardless of how large or small the need is, someone is always there to give a helping hand. The nursing staff on the assisted living side are all super stars. They love our family members as much as we do, and they have unlimited amounts of patience and understanding. We feel so blessed to have such a lovely, caring facility for them to fiend their senior years in.
