My loved one is a resident at Emerald Cottages of Kerrville and most everything has been great at this facility. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. They are supportive and available. I would definitely recommend this facility to family and friends.

Sage park Guadalupe in Kerrville, TX

4.6
This is an independent living facility so the care services do not apply for us. What we really like most about Juniper Village is the friendly of the staff members working there. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

Honey's House of Helotes

4.7
It is very expensive, but because there are only 14 people in the building, the care is very good. The staff is extremely friendly and very patient. When a patient hits the button, the response time is within seconds. I would recommend this facility.
