Larry Osborne

My mother has been at Horton Plaza for 18 years. The staff are the best. I can’t express my gratitude for the fortitude that they have exhibited during the last several months during quarantine. Their foresight and adaptability has kept my mom safe with grace, kindness and dogged determination.

I have had businesses in the Senior Care Industry for over 30 years. In my time of doing business I have never witnessed such a wonderful place such as Horton Plaza. They are so kind and wonderful to their residents and their food is amazing. The activities are curated in such a way, to truly bring joy to their residents lives. I would highly recommend Horton Plaza. Danielle Stovall the General Manager does an incredible job of running her community and Erin Osuna, Horton’s Personal Care Director is so loving and empathetic to the residents that are in her care. Her staff is wonderful. Thank you so much to all of you for being a shining star for all who come to Horton Plaza.
