For the second time, Spring Hills Mt. Vernon Assisted Living has been selected as a “Caring Star” of 2016, as part of an annual nationwide program honoring service excellence based on consumer ratings and reviews posted on Caring.com, the leading senior care website. In reviews from families, seniors, and others concerned about assisted living and Alzheimer’s care, Spring Hills Mt.
