My Dad has only been at Tara Retirement Home for a short time, but it already feels like the perfect place for him. He’s thriving in the warm, homey atmosphere, enjoying the wonderful social life and savoring the delicious, home-cooked meals. The owners, Joann and Lori, along with their amazing staff, have been nothing short of incredible. They are so kind, caring, and genuinely devoted to my Dad’s happiness and well-being. Knowing that his medications are managed with such care gives our family great peace of mind, and they are always quick to notify us if any health concerns arise. Visiting my Dad and seeing him so happy, comfortable, and well cared for is absolutely priceless. The home is always clean, well-maintained, and truly feels like a place where he belongs. If you’re looking for a loving and supportive place for a cherished family member, I can’t recommend Tara Retirement Home enough. It’s more than a home; it’s a place where your loved one will be truly cared for.

I would highly recommend Tara Retirement Home for your loved one. My mother has been a resident for a couple of years and is so happy. The small family atmosphere and care the residents are given is beyond expectations. The owner is caring and the staff go above and beyond planning events, meals and programs. Tara is definitely a step above any large institutional homes.

My grandparents stayed at Tara Retirement Home and the service was excellent. The staff and owner cares a lot about my grandparents and all the residents. The meals are home cooked and there are lots of different activities for everyone to participate each night. The home is very clean and the staff makes sure everyone gets their medication on time. Our family couldn’t be more happier with Tara Retirement Home. I’d highly recommend Tara Retirement Home.
