What Residents Are Saying
“My parents needed a place to recuperate after a hospital stay”
My parents needed a place to recuperate after a hospital stay so my family looked into respite care at FHH. They worked with my family to get my parents settled quickly and into a routine. My parents stayed for 6 weeks. During this time we quickly learned the names of the employees and got all our questions answered in a timely manner. There were many activities that were offered for the residents that my parents participated in. When it was time to leave, my family was very appreciative of the care they needed.
