Risks of Expansion: Expanding while understaffed can lead to missed medical appointments, unanswered call buttons, improper nutrition, and increased injury rates (e.g., falls, bedsores).

My parents absolutely LOVE living at CLGL. They are living their best lives at 79! I hope everyone is as happy as they are. They rave about the cooking, the festivities/activities, and the community as a whole. Thank you for creating a space where people can thrive. It is extremely comforting for us (their children) to know they are in such a caring and supportive environment. Thank you! And please keep taking good care of them 🥰
