The care and compassion that all of the staff show, right down to Phil the maintenance guy, is absolutely amazing. My dad spent his final days at Ed's House and all he could say was he felt like he was at a 5 star hotel. They have a wonderful facility that caters to the patients every need. Preparing all the meals and getting anything they wish. They are super with the family, providing plenty of space both indoors and out. Always a hot pot of coffee and treats to get you through long, tough days. We can't thank the staff enough for all they do.
