What Residents & Families Are Saying

We would like to thank each and everyone of you for your excellent care, kindness and support of our mother during the last weeks of her life. With your compassionate always she was able to pass with dignity and peace. Your tender nursing and support for all of us made a difficult time bearable. Please know it did not go unnoticed as to the many ways you not only cared for Mom, but that you also cared for her family.

Christine C. - Skilled Nursing

Mom spent 4 years at Parkland Gardens, 6 months at The Manor and her final months at The Nursing Center. But the true blessing that we were given was all of the loving caregivers who entered our lives during that time. From the aides, to the nurses, the activity directors to the kitchen staff, the maintenance, office and guard staff, each one was dedicated, caring, and always uplifting in their work. I cannot tell you how much of a difference each and every one of these special people made in Mom's and our family's lives.
