    Denis and his team make my sister Kelly feel right at home and like part of the family. She is nonverbal, which makes it challenging to find trustworthy respite. MacKeigan‘s guest home gives me peace of mind, knowing she is being loved and well cared for while I get a much needed break.

    We used Denis’ place for respite for my mother when we were going on vacation. She couldn’t stay by herself because of a recent hip fracture and the onset of dementia. She received excellent care by Denis and his team. I highly recommend Denis to care for your loved ones. Thank you Denis.

    There is no end of good things I could say about this care home. They looked after my mother as if she were their own. She went from being frail and dependant to being alert and strong under Denis and Nancy's care. As mom was leaving to try a stint back home she said "Denis, you saved me". I have no hesitation whatsoever in wholeheartedly recommending MacKeigans's for your loved one.
