Tameka Sprattley is a credit to Commonwealth Health. She is always so helpful and nice. I have been visiting a friend for over a year and Tameka greets me with a smile and a warm welcome. In my opinion Tameka should be recognized for her duties.

I have been immensely pleased with all aspects of care at Commonwealth for my mother. From admission with Christy, to the overseeing of all the daily things with Miranda. Miranda and especially Melissa are always available for me. It is such a huge comfort knowing that their doors are always open and that Melissa will walk every step of the way with me on assisting with doctor appointments and coordination. She listens and makes sure that my mother’s needs are being taken care of and that I have the support that I need as well. Not to mention the smiling staff that attends to all of our needs. It shows that the staff enjoys working there and that makes all the difference to the residents and their families.

My mom, Frances Catron (101 yrs,), and I had a great time visiting and eating together Thursday nite at the "Boston Marathon" meal at Commonwealth South Boston. The meal was very good. I want to mention Ruth Garner for all her care of mom over the past couple of years. She is excellent at her profession. I am only sorry that she is there only a couple of days a week due to retirement. I wish all the caregivers could be as compassionate as she.<br><br>Thanks for everything all of you do for Mom and the other residents.<br>Rev. Dr. Roger E. Wilborn
