My sister has been at charter Senior Living, a week today. We were both excited and scared about her going there. After all, she’d been with me for a year and a half. All the staff have been wonderful but Nurse Brandy has gone above and beyond for my sister and I.<br>This first week would have been much more difficult if it weren’t for Nurse Brandy. I can’t thank her enough.
