“We moved to SJP and couldn't be more pleased with everything. Everyone is friendly and helpful and the campus is beautiful. Knowing health care is not going to be a hurdle in the future is extremely reassuring. Having any number of activities to plug into and delicious food, as well never hurts. We couldn't be any happier.”
