The director of fun, Amanda and Bobby are wonderful with my sister who is a resident of Dolan. Amanda plans great activities for the residents to enjoy and to engage with each other during the entire event. My sister always participates in whatever activity is planned and raves about the great time she had with Amanda and Bobby. Thanks to them for all of the good work.
