Thank you for the Caring & Loving Staff at Opal giving care & support for my Father, Armand the past few years. He appreciated you all for your grace. May God continue to bless you all!

Sweet, homey, clean, caring staff, great food! My friend is happy & content in his apartment, has made lots of friends. Can’t say enough good things about the staff - they are a great team - caring, helpful, friendly. Just the right size, nice outdoor courtyard & screened porch. This place has been a lifesaver!

Staff is attentive and polite. Older carpets pulled up and new flooring in facility giving a fresh clean look. Staff is so well rounded in responsibilities that you feel like you could ask almost anyone and get the answer you need. Convenient location just off the highway with quick access to stores and restaurants.

This community is warm and welcoming. Taquandra and her team are communicative, caring and willing to work with families to make a smooth transition.

My mother has been at the Opal for a year now. Much nicer than the previous assisted living. Bright and clean. Good food. Friendly staff.

I needed a place for my brother on very short notice and they were very kind and accommodating. He has been there a couple of months and it has been a very good experience. We are very pleased with The Opal.

Opal has been a wonderful home for our family member. The staff and management are friendly, caring and supportive. We couldn't be happier.

I stopped by The Opal after I was stood up by another facility that I had an appointment with. I thought that I would just be able to get a brochure and make an appointment. Well no, the simply amazing staff went out of their way to not only provide me with information AND a tour of the facility all while they were shorthanded with the Director being out sick AND the fire alarm going haywire! I was so surprised that they treated me so well. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility and enjoyed meeting and speaking with the residents where it is apparent that they are well taken care if and most importantly HAPPY. If you are searching for a quality facility, The Opal should most definitely should be on your list! Nancy Morris
