"This place is outstanding! Brenda, Ron, Kristi, and Sarah are the leaders that ensure every resident is treated kindly. The entire staff really cares about the residents and knows everyone's names. The building and common areas are always being cleaned. This place always smells fresh and clean. There is always something to do at Abbey Park at Mill River. There are exercise classes, crafts, games, entertainment, trips, an on-site church, bible studies, movies, etc. You never get bored. The food is amazing and always with great deserts. When I chose Abbey Park for my Dad, I looked at a lot of places - and Abbey Park at Mill River was so much better than the others. They also have visiting doctors, on-site physical therapy, and an on-site assisting staff for any special medical needs. It's a great place to live!" - David…
