What Residents & Families Are Saying

Thank you for taking such good care of my mother, Mae R. I am so grateful she was surrounded by a staff that treated her with love, respect and understanding. The Mardi Gras celebration was the following week. She loved the Mardi Gras parade and the root beer floats. She had a great time listening to the music that day. I think she sang every song. I will always cherish that memory. Thank you.

Nancy F. - Skilled Nursing

This past week, starting with the picnic with Elvis and ending for us with Father's Day breakfast was a warm, magical experience. The sense of belonging stemmed from being recognized and addressed by our first names by all who tended to our wants. It's difficult to realize the extensive planning and labor necessary to make this come about so that everyone was accorded a sense of "being special". Many thanks to everyone.
