This was a nice place. Trilogy does a very nice job, and this is a Trilogy place. They have good food here. They are a little expensive, but very nice.
Sterling Meadows Assisted Living in Mount Sterling, KY
4.8
It has been a good experience. The facility is spacious, and my dad has plenty of room to roam and walk around, either in the hallways or outside. They seem to attend to him very well. And he seems to be happier there than he was at home. You can't ask for much more than that.
