Our mom has been here years, the staff seem to really care about her they will address any concerns we may have regarding mom . The residents seem to enjoy mom’s company. She seems to like the food most of the time as long as it’s what she likes to eat . She enjoys getting her nails done . Thank you to sacred heart Catholic Church in Hartwell for including mom in communion . Also to the church that comes on a weekly basis for every one to enjoy . Brown will try and get people the religion they practice to come
