    My mother has recently moved to Christie Gardens and was scared to make the shift to assisted living for all the mortality the choice conjured. She is really happy she did it. The organization there is well thought out and considerate - for example, in the elevators, on PAPER, in big font, are the day's activities, and they change each day. This is SO sweet! The food is amazing, the staff are skilled and kind communicators, the services are amazing. Mom took the cheapest, smallest accom and it is absolutely perfect. I couldn't ask for a better place for my mom. We lost our dad and our younger brother in the last five years and the amount of peace this new move has provided us as a family is immeasurable.
