Adult Family Home

Premier Gentle Care

What we like about them

Veronica and Julian Mart live on-site with their residents. Their home feels like a country cottage, with incredible vegetable and flower gardens, a huge backyard, a green belt view, and a big deck for lounging in the sun.

We’ve helped a few people move here over the years and witnessed the love and attention they have for their residents firsthand. They have great staffing and a proactive and preventative approach to care.

What families are saying

“I am so thankful we found Veronica and Julian at Premier Gentle Care. We had to move my mom there in a hurry, but from the day she moved in, I no longer had to worry about her.  After being there for only a couple of weeks, we saw marked improvement in her condition. They take time for the little things that make a difference like hot tea, nutritious snacks, and a gentle touch on the shoulder. They engaged with her every day to make her smile. My dad ended up moving there too to be with my mom. It was tremendous peace of mind having them close to my home and knowing they were clean and safe.”  – Ami R
