"I would like to thank you for all the time and effort you have put into placing my father, the awesome knowledge you have on the elderly and the programs available to help with the costs of eldercare. With the VA Aids and Attendance Benefit you referred to us, I didn't have to stress or feel like I was wasting my time finding the right care home. Now we can afford what my father needs and when his level of care changes and the cost rises, we no longer have to worry or move my father again."

-- Peggy W.

"I am pleased to inform you that we have decided to place Dad with Gerry at Genesis Manor. We feel that this will be the best fit for everyone concerned. Thanks so much for all of your assistance and information; it has truly been a blessing to our entire family to have you onboard."

-- Marie E.

"Mom's doing great at Sunset Ridge. Maria and her husband James are the best. We couldn't have asked for a better situation suited for her and her needs."

-- Tyler N.

Porter House of Care (GZ) Residential Care Home

Thank you for your interest in the Porter House of Care. We first opened in early 1997, introducing high standards of quality and innovation in the field of assisted living. We have a licensed assisted living program. This program is designed for those who are "in between" independent and assisted living -- not healthy enough to be totally independent, but too healthy to live in an institutionalized setting. Residents receive personalized assisted living services on an as needed basis in the privacy of their own/shared room.

The objective of Porter House of care is to provide adult residential care to enable disabled or frail elderly clients to remain in the community as long as possible, and to prevent or delay institutionalization or nursing home living. The Porter House of Care assists with personal care and 24 hour supervision.
