• Respond to changing customer requirements
• Incorporate advancements in memory care treatment protocols

The Results of Our Program
The first time I walked into Prestige at Mira Loma I felt the warmth from everyone working there and I knew this was the place for my mom. My mom resides in Expressions and I feel she loves it there. They have so many activities that involve the residents, as well as their families, and I always feel welcome. I love that I can eat with my
mom either in Expressions or the main dinning room and the food is so tasty. Friends and family who have visited her always comment
on how friendly and helpful the staff is and how nice and clean everything is. . ..I have peace of mind and feel truly comfortable
knowing my mom is getting so much care and attention from all the wonderful staff at Prestige.
