Celebration Villa of Martinsburg

They seem to have a big turnover in the staff which is concerning.
The food is just not good. It seems by the time my mom gets her food it's cold and the servings they get are very minimal.
Somerford House and Place Hagerstown
4.0
We chose Somerford House and Place Hagerstown because of the location of the facility, we liked their memory care unit, and the price of the facility compared to others that we looked at.
I would recommend this facility to others.
