5 / 5.0

Milestone is a wonderful place to go. They're so helpful and accommodating. The facility is very nice. And my loved one enjoys the food overall, although three meals a day is a bit too much for her.

5 / 5.0

I will never be able to convey my gratitude for [name removed], [name removed] and the entire Our House Team. The care they have shown for my loved one is unbeatable.

5 / 5.0

What we really like about Applegate Terrace is that it's clean and comfortable and the staff are very warm and welcoming. Based on the experience we have had so far we would recommend this community to other families.
