“     "I have been at L'chaim since it opened. L'chaim is clean, comfortable and tastefully furnished. The atmosphere is homey and the staff efficient, attentive and devoted. Judy puts her whole heart and soul into running the home and is loved and respected by staff, clients and their families. It is a pleasure to work in such an environment. The level of care is excellent." ”        - - Esther Prisman, Physiotherapist

“     Dear Judy: I want to thank you, Esther, and your outstanding staff for how beautifully you helped my mother make the transition to retirement life. She is so happy with her new friends and the loving attention she gets from the staff. I am so impressed: the staff doesn't just 'work' there, they really care about the residents and their families, and treat everyone with such dignity and warmth. L'chaim doesn't feel at all like an institution, it feels like a family. It was an excellent choice!" ”        - - Best wishes, Rabbi Elyse Goldstein
