    Exceptional, family-like care and service

    I highly recommend EKLC - from director Kari Wittmeyer to every caregiver, the staff were caring, respectful, fun, and consistently went above and beyond. The palace-like facility felt safe and comfortable, meals (including continental breakfast) were nice, and care was adjusted as my mom's needs changed; staff knew her personally (they even played cards during nighttime meds). We were grateful for the prompt communication, responsiveness, and great value - overall a wonderful, family-like experience with no complaints.
