This place is an excellent facility that specializes in the care of Chinese speaking people. It is well maintained and the staff is always ready to help. My mom lived there until she passed .

From the looks of our visits, my mom is experiencing a good, new lifestyle. She has made the transition just fine. We are getting the doctor set up and I am familiar with the staff. They are great workers and I think the facility is great too. The manager, staff, nurses, are all very nice, all kind and all helpful. She has a private room with a nice patio to sit out on in. We are please with selecting this community for my mom .

Fremont Hills

If you’re looking for peace of mind, this is the place to bring your loved ones. The care team are kind hearted and take good care of the residents. All the residents are well cared for, their clothes are kept clean and washed and beds are made daily. Residents always look neat and tidy. My husband, who lives in the memory care neighborhood, brags about the food that is served. He says it’s the best he’s ever had. There are a lot of activities to keep them busy my husband loves the music acts, you’ll find him singing and whistling along. I highly recommend Fremont Hills.
